Which of the following best describes a challenge faced by congress in 1850? whether to acquire new territories in the west whether to sell territory from the mexican cession whether to spread slavery into new territories whether to encourage territories to become states

The correct answer is whether to spread slavery into new territories.

In 1850, the United States was still debating what to do with the land won from Mexico during the Mexican American War. This became a controversial topic because Congress could not decide on whether the institution of slavery would be allowed or outlawed in these new territories. This decision was extremely important, as it could disrupt the balance of power between free and slave states in Congress.

This is why Congress agreed to the Compromise of 1850, as both free and slave state representatives both got something out of this compromise that would benefit them.
