    The correct option is A) The states would be able to make their own rules about trading with foreign nations, but trade in slaves would be prohibited.

    This was a compromise reached between the Northern and Southern States. Trading would be controlled by States themselves but slave trade would be completely banned.

    Hence, while The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807, took effect in 1808, slavery did not officially end in the United States until December 6, 1865.
