Answer:

it created an easy system for the slavery or free status of a territories newly becoming states.

Step-by-step explanation:

the Missouri Compromise created a line across the U.S in order to easily determine whether a territory would become a slave state or a free state when becoming a state. The line was above Missouri and territories that were above the line became free states and those below the line became slave states.
