Congress can overturn a Supreme Court decision by passing a new law that directly addresses the issue ruled upon by the Court. This law must be signed by the President to take effect and can effectively nullify the Court's decision.
With the US Congress deadlocked over the Missouri situation, there seemed no way to satisfy the Congress. The Speaker of the House, Henry Clay, however, presented a plan, a compromise, that Congress finally passed.
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.
