<em><u>It made the Mississippi River the boundary between slave states and free states. (b) </u></em>

Further Explanations:

Henry Clay was an American elder statesman and attorney general, representing in both the United States Senate and House of Representatives from Kentucky. Clay was born in Hanover County, Virginia on 12th April 1777 and started his early life as a legal advisor in Lexington, Kentucky. Clay served as the 9th U.S secretary and 7th  House of Representatives' Speaker of the United States. He led to the formation of the National  Republic Party and the Whig Party. Among some of his tremendous contributions, he played a prime role in the eradication of slavery.

The Missouri compromise was legislation that initiated admittance of Maine in the United States and as a part of this compromise, it prohibited slavery in the areas excluding Missouri. With an increase in tensions within the United States on issues related to Slavery during the 1820s, the  Congress passed a law to admit Missouri as a slave state. Missouri made it obvious that it accepted its Union as a Slave trade.  The bid of Missouri came into effect during 1820 which allowed slavery within its borders. Henry Clay proposed the entry of Missouri as a slave state in the Union in order to balance the Slave state and Free States. Clay tried to settle the issue of slavery that was then banned in Louisiana territory except Missouri.
