The balance was maintained by the admission of the Massachusetts colony of Maine as a separate free state at about the same time that Missouri was admitted as a slave state.
The correct chronological order of the events is as follows: the Three-Fifths Compromise (1787), the Missouri Compromise (1820), the Compromise of 1850 (1850), and finally the Emancipation Proclamation (1863). The Three-Fifths Compromise established how slaves would be counted for representation, the Missouri Compromise addressed the balance between slave and free states, the Compromise of 1850 dealt with issues arising from the Mexican-American War, and the Emancipation Proclamation declared the freedom of slaves in Confederate states during the Civil War.
False . The plan kept the balance of power between the North and the South even in the Senate.
no because after the Missouri compromise it was prohibited to have slaves north of Missouri

There were a number of compromises made in the US leading up to the US Civil War. The list is as follows:1. In order to have the new US Constitution ratified, slavery was not slated for abolishment, but the importation of slaves would be illegal after 10 years. ( this was a hollow deal as slaves continued to be imported under cover) 2. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 to keep the balance of slave and free states equal; 3. The Missouri Compromise of 1850, this also to keep the slave-free state balance, but added the Fugitive Slave Law; and 4. The Kansas-Nebraska Act allowing citizens to vote on the slave issue when a territory had yet to apply for statehood.
This compromise admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, thereby keeping the existing balance between the number of slave and free states. The slave owners knew there was opposition to slavery in the free states and were always worried that runaway slaves would not be returned to their owners or that slavery would be abolished throughout the country.
The terms of the Missouri Compromise of 1820 were effectively overridden with the Compromise of 1850, which opened the territories of Utah and New Mexico to settlement by slave owners as well as those who did not own slaves. One part of the new Compromise was the establishment of the Fugitive Slave Act which helped escaped slaves be returned to their "owners".

the Missouri Compromise
The Three-Fifths Compromise, settled on in 1787, determined that slaves would count as three-fifths of a person for the purposes of representation and taxation. This decision was a contentious compromise between states with varying numbers of slaves and helped shape the balance of power between states in the federal government.
The Missouri Compromise coved the issue of slavery in the United States at that time. The compromise gave all the let the land south of the Missouri state border to be able to choose to have slaves, while all states north of that border had to be free states.
An advantage to the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was that slavery would not be permitted in the territory that is now the state of Missouri. A disadvantage to the Missouri Compromise was that people who believed in slavery in the South could not move north to gain more land and keep their slaves.
