Let's look at the history and try to understand what this is about. First, there wasn't slavery in the northern states nor in the newest western states so he didn't have to "free" slaves in these states. Secondly, the southern states maintained that it was a States rights issue to determine if slavery was illegal or legal. When Lincoln was elected the southern states felt he would pass laws outlawing slavery so they left the union in April 12, 1861 beginning the civil war. Lincoln within the next 2 years got congress to pass the emancipation proclamation freeing 3 million slaves in the states in rebellion. Lincoln's whole goal was to keep the union together. He stipulated that if the southern states did not cease their rebellion by January 1st, 1863 the proclamation would go into effect. The confederacy didn't yield so it became law. Lincoln justified the law as a means to cripple the confederate states and because of the limits of presidential authority he limited it only to the states in rebellion. The Battle of Antietam added a victory to the union army and 5 days later the emancipation proclamation was issued.
Depends on where you live. I added links to a site that gives the marriage without consent rules for all states in US. Most allow at age 18, age 19 in Nebraska and age 21 in Mississippi. Some allow younger if there is a pregnancy involved. Also added site that gives age of sexual consent in states of US.
There were patrols very where looking for these slaves. The second amendment to the constitution actually was added to allow these patrols especially in the southern or slave states. They were call militias. Every male had to belong to them, no excuses. Slaves were very valuable and letting them escape would not be a good example to those who stayed behind. If they did not have a 'pass' that allowed them off their plantation, they would be punished severely if not out right killed. There were many more slaves than owners and a they had to be closely controlled. The escaped slave was hunted and many didn't get very far.
In the US, you can be disqualified from voting if you are not a US citizen, have been declared mentally incapacitated by a court, have been convicted of certain felonies, or are not of legal voting age (18 years old).
More days would be added to her contract.
Scott didn't win his freedom and the decision reinforced the idea that slaves were property. The Missouri Compromise was a blow to the southern states to gain more slave states. I don't think the Scott decision added anything to the compromise, but it did entrench slavery in the states where it existed.
In 1820, Maine was added as a non-slave state (23rd), and Missouri was added as a "slave state" (slavery allowed). This plan kept the number of Northern, pro-abolition states equal to the number of Southern, anti-abolition states, 12 each. But after the Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854) established a state's right to choose its status on slavery, the Missouri Compromise was no longer in force.
When writing the constitution the southern states had the slave population while the northern states didn't and the compromise was added so when counting the population for House representation that the slaves wouldn't be counted as a whole person. The smaller northern states were afraid that the larger south would have too much power in Congress.
Maine and Missouri

Yes, it allowed for a couple of new slave-states.
The war with Mexico resulted in California and the southwest territory becoming part of the United States.
Adding territory to Florida and Georgia was one way Andrew Jackson impacted the geography of the southern states. Jackson also added territory to Alabama.
The compromise gave added clout to politicians in the south and increased resentment in the north. Both sides were upset by the compromise.
