Answer 1

The Free-Soil Party would have supported the **Wilmot Proviso**. The Wilmot Proviso was an initiative aimed at banning slavery in territories acquired from Mexico during the Mexican-American War. The Free-Soil Party was formed primarily to oppose the expansion of slavery into new territories and states, aligning with the principles of the Wilmot Proviso. The party opposed both the "cottonocracy," slave codes, and the Fugitive Slave Act, which were supportive of slavery.
