Detailed explanation-1: -Controversy arose within Congress over the issue of slavery. Congress adopted this legislation and admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a non-slave state at the same time, so that the balance between slave and free states in the nation would remain equal.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Compromise of 1850 consists of five laws passed in September of 1850 that dealt with the issue of slavery and territorial expansion. In 1849 California requested permission to enter the Union as a free state, potentially upsetting the balance between the free and slave states in the U.S. Senate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Shortcomings of the Missouri Compromise Southerners who opposed the Missouri Compromise did so because it set a precedent for Congress to make laws concerning slavery, while Northerners disliked the law because it meant slavery was expanding into new territory.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Missouri Compromise was a federal legislation of the United States that balanced desires of northern states to prevent expansion of slavery in the country with those of southern states to expand it.
Detailed explanation-5: -What did the Missouri Compromise, the Compromise of 1850, and “Bleeding Kansas” have in common? The Missouri Compromise, the Compromise of 1850, and “Bleeding Kansas” all dealt with the expansion of slavery into the western territories. Each of them involved the balance of “free” and “slave” states in the Union.
