Why did the south gain from the compromise of 1850

The Compromise of 1850 was an agreement between the North and South states of the United States.

Since the independence of the United States in 1776 and until the Compromise, the slave states had dominated American politics, not least thanks to the three-fifths clause. But when President Zachary Taylor in 1849-50 made proposals to incorporate the state of California, which, because of the gold fever, grew at tremendous speed, the balance of power changed. Presumably Taylor, who himself was a slave owner, had expected California to become a slave state, but fearing that the presence of slaves in the state would undermine the white gold digging, thus depriving them of their existence, they opposed the slave trade and expressed their desire to become a free state. The compromise was that California was recognized as a free state, while the territories of Utah and New Mexico could later be admitted as either free or slave states.

The free states now constituted the population majority, thus dominating the House of Representatives, which markedly changed the political balance in the years leading up to the Civil War.

both are true, the congress does have the power to create banks, even if this power is not specifically described in the constitution, since there is nothing restricting it and there is power given to the congress to make "all laws which shall be necessary and proper". maryland was not allowed to tax a branch of the national bank operating there, and the supreme court decided that no state could. both of these topics were discussed in a decision of the mcculloch v. maryland case in 1819.

“the iliad” (gr: “iliás”) is an epic poem by the ancient greek poet homer, which recounts some of the significant events of the final weeks of the trojan war and the greek siege of the city of troy (which was also known as ilion, ilios or ilium in ancient times).
