2. Enacting a strict Fugitive Slave Law to require return of enslaved people who escaped to free states.
3. Settling the Texas-New Mexico border dispute in New Mexico's favor, adjusting Texas's territorial claims.

• A border dispute between Texas and the territory of New Mexico would be settled in favor of New Mexico, allowing Santa Fe to become part of that new state when organized.
