There were several attempts to resolve this question, as the Western territories were coming up for statehood. The Missouri Compromise related to the territories acquired from France in the Louisiana Purchase. After the Mexican war, they had to replace this with a new compromise to accommodate the new territories acquired from Mexico. When this proved unpopular, they tried organising a local vote on the issue. That just led to violence.

The Compromise of 1850 did not allow any choice in the matter. It reflected the increasing difficulty of creating new slave-states. It was the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 that allowed the people of those two territories to vote on the slavery question.
