The correct answer is D. Propose popular sovereignty as the determination of whether states would have slavery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Missouri Compromise, passed in 1820, was a significant legislative decision designed to balance the power between slave states and free states in the United States Senate. The compromise came about in response to Missouri’s application for statehood as a slave state, which raised concerns about maintaining an even number of slave and free states and preserving the balance of power between the North and South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three main provisions of the Missouri Compromise were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Admission of Maine as a Free State<\/strong>: Maine was admitted as a free state to counterbalance Missouri\u2019s admission as a slave state. This provision helped maintain an equal number of free and slave states.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Admission of Missouri as a Slave State<\/strong>: Missouri was allowed to enter the Union as a slave state, as requested, which appeased pro-slavery advocates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Establishment of the 36\u00b0 30\u2032 Line<\/strong>: The Compromise established a geographic boundary at the 36\u00b0 30\u2032 latitude line across the Louisiana Purchase territory. North of this line (with the exception of Missouri), slavery would be prohibited, and south of this line, slavery would be permitted. This helped address the issue of slavery in new territories.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    However, the Missouri Compromise did not include the concept of popular sovereignty<\/strong> (choice D). Popular sovereignty, the idea that the residents of a territory should decide whether to permit slavery, was introduced later in the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. This later policy allowed the people of new territories to vote on the issue of slavery, leading to significant conflict and even violence in some cases, as seen in \u201cBleeding Kansas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In summary, the Missouri Compromise temporarily settled the debate over slavery in the United States, but it did so by defining a geographic boundary and not by advocating popular sovereignty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
