Who admitted one slave and one free state to the union and fixed the boundary between slave and free territories?
Missouri Compromise
How did bleeding Kansas begin?
The dispute was over whether Kansas would be admitted as a Slave State or a Free State. The Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed Kansas to enter as a Slave State if Nebraska entered as a Free one. The "bleeding" was from advocates on both sides trying to suppress the other by murder and terrorism.
Why might southerners be upset if California were admitted as a free state than Northerners might be if it were admitted as a slave state?
California is huge and the South wanted California to be part of the Confederacy.
How would popular sovereignty be used to determine slave free status in the new territories?
By allowing the people of each new state to vote on whether it would be a slave-state or free soil. That sounded reasonable enough. But if only one state was voting at a time, that one state would attract every terrorist from both sides to try to influence the vote. That's what happened in Kansas - and the result was called 'Bleeding Kansas'.
The admission of the union ended the balance of slave free states?
No, that sentence is not correct. It appears that it may have been a correct sentence at one time, but you left out some of the words. The idea that the number of slave and free states needed to be balanced was not initially considered particularly important, and the balance had shifted back and forth several times as existing states approved the Constitution (and thus formally joined the United States) and as new states were formed; also, New York started as a slave state but became a free state in 1799.By 1812 (with the admission of Louisiana as a slave state), the number of free and slave states were equal, and states were usually admitted in pairs at most a year or two apart: Indiana (free) in 1816 and Mississippi (slave) in 1817, Illinois (free) in 1818 and Alabama (slave) in 1819, and so on.This continued up until 1850, when California was admitted as a free state (though one of California's two senators was pro-slavery, which meant that anti- and pro- slavery representation in the Senate was still balanced). Minnesota (free, 1858) gave the free states a majority, which was not counterbalanced by the addition of a slave state... Oregon (free, 1859) exacerbated the "problem". Kansas (admitted as a free state in 1861 after a series of bitter armed conflicts between pro and anti slavery forces known as "Bleeding Kansas") disrupted the balance even further, but by then the US Civil War (which started just three months later) was essentially inevitable anyway.

What best describes the Missouri Compromise?

What was the Missouri Compromise?
The Missouri Compromise was an agreement between the North and the South and passed by Congress in 1820 that allowed Missouri to be admitted as the 24th state in 1821. One slave state (Missouri) and one free state (Maine) were admitted to the Union, maintaining the balance. The balance of power between free and slave states in Congress was maintained to ease tensions between the North and South. The North's attempt to force emancipation upon Missouri when it applied for admission as a slave state in 1819 rankled white southerners, and they threatened secession during the debates over the conditions under which Missouri should be granted statehood. The debates resulted in a compromise that involved the drawing of a line through the United States prohibiting slavery in future states north of the latitude 36°30′ and allowing it in future states south of that. (Missouri itself, despite lying almost entirely north of the line, was admitted as a slave state.) This worked for about 34 years. The Missouri Compromise was a compromise of new territory should be considered a free state or slave state. This compromise proposed whatever was north of the 36'30' line was to be a free state and whatever was south of this line was to be slave state.
What was the the name of the free state that was paired up with Missouri in order to create equality between slave and the free states?
Maine. It was one half of the divided state of Massachusetts. It represented another free state in the voting in Congress. This kept the balance, and allowed Missouri to be admitted to the Union as a slave-state.
Minnesota a free state could not be admitted to the Union unless this stat was admiitted ad a slave state?

What was the 34th state to join the union?
Kansas was the 34th in Jan. 1861, as a free state (no slaves) which followed the statehood of the free state of Oregon in 1859, with Iowa, Wisconsin California and Minnesota having joined before that, thus upsetting the Missouri Compromise agreement of one free state, one slave state. (The last slave state to be admitted was Texas at Number 28). With Lincoln's election this undoubtedly accelerated the Slave States' decisions to secede from the Union which soon led to the mayhem of the Civil War.
Did kansas enter the union as a free state slave or undeclared state?
Under the terms of the Act, two territories were to be formed, Kansas and Nebraska. One would presumably become a slave state and the other a free state. Popular sovereignty would prevail and it was assumed that slave-owning Southerners would occupy Kansas and make it a slave state, while free state advocates would settle Nebraska. Things worked out as anticipated in Nebraska, but not in Kansas. Kansas was a Free State.
How did bleeding Kansas begin?
