Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Slavery would be prohibited in the Louisiana Territory.

Explanation:

• The Missouri Compromise draft did state that slavery in the state of Louisiana would be banned, but it had a catch.

• By state, the parties of the compromise did not mean the entire state, but the rest of the state of Louisiana further north of the 36°30' horizontal latitude.

• The other clauses of the compromise spoke about the entry of other states as entirely free of entirely slave states.
