John Quincy Adams convinced Congress to sign or pass the Missouri Compromise
The Missouri Compromise was put forth by Senator Henry Clay in an attempt to prevent the addition of the new territory of Missouri, as a slave slate, from tipping the balance of power in Congress to Southern States. Since Missouri was not an official state until this compromise's passing, the state's people had no representation in Congress or ability to affect this bill.

To address the conflict over slavery
To achieve statehood, Missouri had to allow slavery. This was the Compromise of 1820. The other part of that compromise was that Maine entered the Union as a free state. To keep the number of slave states and free states equal, prevented the Civil War from happening sooner.
The leader in Congress who helped to create the Missouri Compromise was Henry Clay. Furthermore, with the support of Daniel Webster, Clay set up the plan for the Compromise of 1850 and the resolution of the Nullification Crisis.
