Answer 1

The most accurate response regarding how the Mexican government avoided making a decision about slavery is: They left it up to the individual states.

This choice reflects the historical context of federalism in Mexico during that period, where individual states had significant autonomy to regulate their own affairs, including issues like slavery. While Texas, as a state of Mexico, had a significant population of enslaved people, the central government did not impose a uniform policy, allowing for various local laws and practices to emerge.
