The Supreme Court verdict in the Dred Scott case declared that slavery was legal in every state of the Union. So this invalidated both the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850.
The Missouri Compromise happened in the 1820s :)
The constitutionality of the Missouri Compromise was a subject of debate. Some argued that it violated the principle of states' rights, while others believed it was necessary to maintain the balance between free and slave states. Ultimately, the Compromise was overturned by the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott decision.
The passage of the Kansas - Nebraska Act effectively made the last Missouri Compromise a mute one. It is said to have broken up the Whig Party into the new Republican Party and the Know Nothing party.
Chief Justice Roger Taney declared the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional, declaring Congress had overstepped its authority in forging agreements that would be binding on future states. Taney said Congress could make anti-slavery laws for US Territories, but the states had the sovereign authority to decide whether to allow slavery within their borders. He wrote the opinion in that 7-2 decision. He further stated that the "once free, always free" doctrine that allowed slaves living in free states to be emancipated permanently violated the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment by depriving the slave owners of their property without due process or compensation. In the Dred Scott decision a slave was taken up north to a "free state," according to the Missouri Compromise, and then brought back down to a slave state. Dred Scott felt that by entering a free state should be free from slavery, but on the ruling the Dred Scott decision ruled that slaves are considered property and can be taken anywhere therefore nullifying the Missouri Compromise.
Three years later the Missouri Compromise was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott decision, which ruled that Congress did not have the authority to prohibit slavery in the territories.
The court ruled that slavery was protected by the constitution, so the Missouri Compromise (which banned slavery North of a certain parallel) was invalid.

The Missouri Compromise was deemed unconstitutional because it violated the Fifth Amendment, which protects individuals from being deprived of property without due process. The compromise allowed Congress to regulate slavery in certain territories, effectively treating enslaved people as property. This relationship is highlighted in the Dred Scott v. Sandford case, where the Supreme Court ruled that Scott, an enslaved man, could not be a citizen and that Congress had no authority to prohibit slavery in the territories, thereby nullifying the Missouri Compromise.

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.
