Detailed explanation-1: -They were both created to bring peace between the south and north. However they were different in the way they affected the balance of power. The Compromise of 1820 balanced the power of the South and the North, but the compromise of 1850 caused it to not be stable.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why was the Missouri Compromise so important to the Senate? It maintained a delicate balance between free and slave states. On the single most divisive issue of the day, the U.S. Senate was equally divided. If the slavery question could be settled politically, any such settlement would have to happen in the Senate.
