Detailed explanation-1: -Enacted in 1820 to maintain the balance of power in Congress, the Missouri Compromise admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state.
Detailed explanation-2: -Contents. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was a law that tried to address growing sectional tensions over the issue of slavery. By passing the law, which President James Monroe signed, the U.S. Congress admitted Missouri to the Union as a state that allowed slavery, and Maine as a free state.
Detailed explanation-3: -After months of debate, the Missouri Compromise saved the day: Missouri would be admitted as a slave state, and a new state-Maine-would be created as a free state. To avoid future problems, they also mapped out which parts of the rest of America’s territory could become slave and free states.
Detailed explanation-4: -This legislation admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a non-slave state at the same time, so as not to upset the balance between slave and free states in the nation. It also outlawed slavery above the 36º 30’ latitude line in the remainder of the Louisiana Territory.
Detailed explanation-5: -This so-called Missouri Compromise drew a line from east to west along the 36th parallel, dividing the nation into competing halves-half free, half slave. The House passed the compromise bill on March 2, 1820.
