What were the 10 territories added in 1820?
In 1820, the Missouri Compromise allowed for the admission of Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, maintaining the balance between free and slave states. Additionally, the compromise established a boundary (36°30′ parallel) for future territories, permitting slavery in areas south of this line and prohibiting it north of it, except for Missouri.

In 1820, Maine was added as a non-slave state (23rd), and Missouri was added as a "slave state" (slavery allowed).

But after the Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854) established a state's right to choose its status on slavery, the Missouri Compromise was no longer in force.
How did western expansion create an imbalance in the US congress?
Western expansion in the United States led to an imbalance in Congress as new territories and states were added, often as slave or free states, which affected the delicate balance of power between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the Compromise of 1850 were attempts to address this imbalance by regulating the admission of states, but they ultimately highlighted the growing sectional tensions. As more western states were admitted, the struggle for representation intensified, contributing to the polarization that would culminate in the Civil War.
Why you think the delegates to the constitutional convention were right or wrong in compromising on the slavery issue?
The delegates were right to compromise over slavery because, despite the anti-slavery sentiments of many of the delegates, the southern representatives were not about to compromise the cornerstone of their economy. Demanding the immediate end of slavery would have caused them to walk out, jeopardizing the new nation. Therefore, the delegates kept slavery but left provisions for the elimination of slavery at a later date. Also, they added the three-fifths clause, which essentially hamstrung the southern states' ability to use slaves to inflate their population and therefore their representation in the House of Representatives.
