The "The Georgia Platform" was a set of resolutions adopted by the Georgia state legislature in response to the Compromise of 1850, a series of legislative measures aimed at resolving the issue of slavery in the territories acquired from Mexico. The platform called for the strict enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act and declared Georgia's commitment to the Union, but also expressed opposition to any attempts to restrict slavery in existing or future states.
