The Compromise balanced sectional interests by enacting the following:

  1. California was admitted to the Union as a free state
  2. The New Mexico and Utah territories were to decide the question issue by relying on "popular sovereignty," allowing the actual settlers to vote on the issue
  3. Texas lost the New Mexico territory, but received $10 million from the federal government for its loss
  4. The slave trade in the District of Columbia was abolished
