The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was important because it played a significant role in the relationship between the North and the South. It resulted in the admission of Missouri to the Union as a slave state.
it was proposed because Missouri wanted to enter the Union as a slave state, which would ruin their balance. So it was decided that they would let Missouri in so long as another (free) state, Maine, could enter at the same time, keeping the balance and an imaginary line would go across the country to show where slave states would be and where free states would be.
It laid down a line in the sand, settling the issue of which new states could be slave and which could be free. This allowed the business of Congress to continue, and the USA to remain united.
It limited the spread of slavery to the western states and to new states that would form later.
To decide which of the new territories acquired under the Louisiana Purchase would become slave-states and which would be free states.
It kept the balance of slave-states and free states in Congress, so that the South was not motivated to secede from the USA.
