The Free-Soil Party would have supported the **Wilmot Proviso**. The Wilmot Proviso was a proposal to ban slavery in territories acquired from Mexico during the Mexican-American War. The Free-Soil Party was founded in the mid-1800s primarily to oppose the expansion of slavery into the western territories, advocating for free labor and the rights of free men.
On the other hand, the Free-Soil Party would have opposed the **Slave Codes** and the **Fugitive Slave Act**, as these laws supported and enforced the institution of slavery.
