How did Stephen Douglas plan to undo the Missouri compromise?
Stephen Douglas was eager to develop west of his home from Illionois. As a result, he suggested to form two new territories : Kansas and Nebraska. However, many Southerners rejected the idea because under the Missouri Compromise, the territories would be admitted as free states. Douglas then proposed that the upcoming territories would be decided by popular sovereignty, earning the South's favor and thus, removing the Missouri Compromise.

What two states were admitted to the union as part of the Missouri compermize?
They were admitted as part of the "Missouri Compromise". Missouri wanted to be a state, but Missouri allowed slavery. Allowing another slave state into the Union would've tipped the delicate balance in Congress in favor of the slave states. So Maine, which was part of Massachusetts at the time, was separated off and made into a new Free State (that is, a non-slavery state) to balance against Missouri, which was allowed to finally become a state.

Why did Missouri's request to join the Union increase sectionalism?
Missouri had far fewer slaves than its Southern neighbors, less than 10% of the population. So it normally would have become a "free state" where slaveholding would not have been permitted. Along with statehood for Maine, this would have swung the balance in Congress in favor of the anti-slavery wing. So, under the Missouri Compromise (1820), Maine was admitted as a free state and Missouri as a slave (allowing) state. This, however, did not produce a pro-slavery government there, increasing tensions between the North and South. The Compromise was effectively repealed in 1854 by the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
