The slave-owning states (South) and the Union (North).

the Missouri Compromise
The most contentious aspect of the compromise often centers around the balance of power between different groups or regions, particularly in issues like slavery, representation, or resource allocation. For instance, in the U.S. context, the Missouri Compromise ignited fierce debates over whether new states would allow slavery, reflecting deep-seated regional tensions. This compromise aimed to maintain a delicate balance, but ultimately, it only postponed larger conflicts, as it failed to address the underlying moral and political divisions.
The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, settled the argument between the large states and the small states during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Large states favored representation based on population, while small states wanted equal representation for each state. The compromise established a bicameral legislature, with proportional representation in the House of Representatives and equal representation in the Senate. This arrangement balanced the interests of both groups and was crucial for the ratification of the U.S. Constitution.

The fundamental purpose of the Missouri Compromise was to find common ground for two very different groups of Americans, those who advocated slavery and those who opposed it. With overall legislative control of the country at stake, the Compromise attempted to balance out the power of slave-holding states with "free" states as new territories within America were seeking (and achieving) recognition as full-fledged member-states of the Union.
