The US Supreme Court declared the Missouri Compromiseunconstitutional because he thought Congress had overstepped its authority by trying regulate slavery in the states. This was in keeping with another part of the Dred Scott decision that held slaves were the property of their owners (not citizens), and it was therefore unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment to deprive an owner of his property without Due Process of law.
