The correct answer is:
D. It allowed new states to vote on whether to allow slavery.
The Compromise of 1850 introduced the principle of popular sovereignty, allowing the territories of New Mexico and Utah to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery when they applied for statehood. This was different from the Missouri Compromise, which established a clear geographical boundary for the expansion of slavery.
