Explanation:

The Missouri Compromise was a slavery regime enacted in 1820 in the United States during the presidency of James Monroe. The agreement was made between the supporters and the opponents of slavery in the USA. It mainly regulated slavery and the admission of new states in western US territory. The compromise should provide for a political balance between the northern and southern states. The compromise brought the relatively far-to-the-north Missouri into the Union as a slave state, while every new state north of the Compromise Line (36 ° 30 'latitude) should become slave-free. The Missouri Compromise was abrogated with the Kansas-Nebraska Act of May 30, 1854. With the Supreme Court decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford in 1857 declared the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional.
