What was the Great Compromise primarily related to?
The Great Compromise, aka the Connecticut Compromise, was the deal reached at the Constitutional Convention dealing with how to have representation in the legislative branch. Big states wanted more seats, so they were for having representation based on how much population a state had. Small states wanted it to be equal. SO, the compromise was to have TWO legislative bodies... now known as the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House is based on population, so it favors big states like California.... The Senate is equal, so small states like Rhode Island are really more powerful in this one.

What are the cons of the Missouri compromise?
Good question! The North benefited from the Missouri Compromise, because they received another state in the North (Maine) that did not allow slavery (because the North didn't like slavery.) The South benefited from the Missouri Compromise, because they received another southern state (Missouri) that was capable of having slaves. This way, both the North and the South had an equal amount of 12 Northern states and 12 Southern states.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of The Missouri Compromise?
An advantage to the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was that slavery would not be permitted in the territory that is now the state of Missouri. A disadvantage to the Missouri Compromise was that people who believed in slavery in the South could not move north to gain more land and keep their slaves.
What happened to Maine under The Missouri Compromise?
A little background history: In 1820, Maine was a part of Massachusetts, even though New Hampshire is in between them. Missouri was trying to become a state, but wanted to be a "slave state"- that is, a state that allowed slavery. But the number of slave states matched the number of free states (states were slavery was not allowed). Allowing Missouri become a slave state would upset the balance, which would cause problems, like that the Senate would have more slave-state Senators, and it would give slave states slightly more power in presidential elections (because they would have more Congressmen and Senators). So the Compromise set a bunch of rules about slavery, but the big thing it did was it separated Maine from Massachusetts and allowed it to become a free state. Missouri was allowed to become a slave state. The balance was preserved, which postponed a major confrontation about slavery for a while longer.
Did states have the right to decide if they were free states or slave states?
