The Missouri Compromise of 1820 admitted Missouri as a slave state, and Maine as a free state, to keep the balance of slave/non-slave states equal in Congress. It also established the 36-30 line, and said that slavery would not be allowed above that line except for in Missouri.

The Compromise of 1850 admitted California as a free state, and gave the South stricter Fugitive Slave Laws as a way to "balance" the deal. It also gave Kansas and Nebraska territories the right to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery or not. This indirectly repealed the Missouri Compromise.

To be more specific, the Kansas Nebraska Act of 1854 effectively negated the 1850 Missouri Compromise. Later the US Supreme Court ruled this Act was unconstitutional. The Civil War finalized the "slavery " question. And, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery.
