This caused a debate since at the time, America had a balanced amount of slave states and free states. If Missouri was admitted into a slave state, it would tip the balance. Thus, Henry Clay developed the Missouri Compromise, Allowing Maine as a free state+ Missouri as slave, keeeping the balance in check.
Northerners opposed Missouri's entrance as a slave state because slave states would have more senators in Congress than the free states would. It would give the South a bigger voting presence in Congress. This issue was the basic cause of the Civil War.

If one state attacked the other, it could cause another Civil War. States would most likely either debate it out in Congress or cause a war.

Because the South was finding it harder to create enough new slave-states to maintain voting strength in Congress. This meant that Congress would tend to pass laws favourable to the North, at the expense of the South.

You debate whether it is the cause or not. if you say it is, then you have to say what isn't planned properly, and how to improve it. if you are against, then you have to say why and provide an alternative cause.

Congress is made up of the House and Senate which gives them responsibility to debate the president's salary, instead of a single person. That would give a single person too much power.
