The Louisians Territory was split into two spheres of interest, one for slaveholders and one for free settlers. The dividing line was set at 36' 30' north latitude. Thus, preserving the sectional balance in the Senate. South of the line, slavery was legal, north of the line (except in Missouri) slavery was banned. So slavery was still being put on a limit, and the balance was even.

Why did southern whits feel threatened by the Missouri compromise?

Southern plantation owners feared the Missouri Compromise would limit the expansion of slavery, and eventually the institution of slavery itself.


Who would be more likely to support changes in government legislation to discontinue The Missouri Compromise slaveholders of Free-soil?

Slaveholders would be more likely to support changes in government legislation to discontinue The Missouri Compromise. This is because they sought to expand slavery into new territories and states, believing that such changes would protect their economic interests and way of life. In contrast, Free-Soilers, who opposed the expansion of slavery, would resist any efforts to dismantle the compromise. Their goal was to limit slavery's reach, promoting free soil for white settlers instead.


What problems arose as a result of the Missouri Comprimise?

The compromise was thought to limit the peoples rights, because the south viewed their slaves as property and they thought it was unconstitutional for the governent to restrict right to bring their property with them without due process of law. Despite these problems, it for the most part kept the nation at peace Then later on down the road a Northern Democrat named Stephen Douglas suggested Popular Sovreignty which meant the people could vote on whether or not they wanted slavery or not when they applied for statehood. This along with the Kansas-Nebraska Act which established popular sovreignty in the Kansas and Nebraska territories which all but destroyed the Missouri Compromise.

How do sections 14 and 32 repeal The Missouri Compromise of 1820?

The Missouri Compromise of 1820 admitted Maine as a "free" state and Missouri as a "slave" state. As part of the deal, slavery will be, from then on, prohibited north of parallel 36°30', with the exception of the state of Missouri which was located north of that parallel.Section 14 of the Constitution states that all citizens of the United States are subject to the jurisdiction of the country. Therefore, no other state may enforce a law that may limit the privileges provided by the being a citizen of the country. The compromise is clearly making a difference between the privileges of citizens of the country according to the place they live.Section 32 of the Constitution states that no person is entitled to a different set of emoluments (or payments he receives for the work he or she does) than those from the community he lives. The Missouri compromise also goes against this enactment due to the fact that slaves are clearly getting separate forms of payment.

Is it really not illegal to speed in Missouri?

No. Missouri has a speed limit just like everywhere else, and going over that limit (i.e. speeding) is illegal.


What effect Did the court decision in the dred Scott case had on the efforts of many Americans to end slavery?

The Dred Scott v. Sandford decision in 1857 significantly undermined efforts to end slavery by declaring that African Americans could not be considered citizens and thus had no legal standing to sue for their freedom. The ruling also invalidated the Missouri Compromise, which had attempted to limit the expansion of slavery in certain territories. This intensified sectional tensions and galvanized abolitionist movements, as many viewed the decision as a stark reminder of the entrenched nature of slavery in American society. Ultimately, it propelled the nation closer to the Civil War, as it highlighted the deep divisions over the issue of slavery.
