Answer 1

Congress devised a two part compromise. It granted Missouri statehood as a slave state and admitted Maine as a free state, restoring the political balance. It also drew an imaginary line west of the Mississippi and North of the 36 degrees 30 minutes latitude in which slavery would not be allowed after 1820.
