The impasse was resolved when Maine separated from Massachusetts and applied for statehood. A compromise, supported by Henry Clay, was proposed and accepted by both sides. This compromise, known as the Missouri Compromise, provided for the admittance of Missouri as a slave state and the admittance of Maine as a free state, thereby preserving the balance of power. In addition, the North was able to hold its position that Congress should determine the expansion of slavery into the territories by including a provision that forbade slavery forever in the Louisiana Purchase north of the 36o 30' parallel.
So the three main components of the Missouri Compromise are;
1) admit Missouri as a slave state
2) admit Maine as a free state
3) forbid slavery north of 36o 30' in the Louisiana Purchase
