How did the Missouri compromise attempt to address the issue of power between the states? Why was this even an issue?

the missouri compromise attempted to balance the slave states and free states so there wouldn’t be an uneven amount (which would cause an imbalance of power). so maine was admitted as a free state, while missouri was admitted as a slave state.
