Slavery became a contentious issue during Monroe’s presidency. The North had banned slavery, but the Southern states still supported it. In 1818, Missouri<span> wanted to join the Union; the North wanted it to be declared a free state while the South wanted it to be a slave state. Finally, an agreement was made allowing Missouri to join the Union as a slave state and </span>Maine<span> to join as a free state. The </span>Missouri Compromise<span> soon followed, outlawing slavery in the Louisiana Territory above the parallel 36°30′ north, excluding the state of Missouri. Although Monroe did not think Congress had the constitutional authority to impose such conditions on Missouri’s admission to the Union, he signed the Missouri Compromise in 1820 in an effort to avoid civil war.</span>

What was wrong with French society in 1789
VMariaS [17]
France was bankrupted, exhausted from international wars which had lost, and the defeat mentality settled in on the population. Empty treasury and deep public debt was a reason, why the General Estates were called, because various proposal to fill treasury failed. The monarchy under pressure from default wanted implement some changes on way how the taxation should be done in order to fix state finances. The wealthy class did not pay fair share of the taxes and wanted to shift the burden on middle class representing majority of the population. The Third Estate than became the voice of the France and challenged the established relationships that monarchy, aristocracy, and clergy had, while the significant masses were underrepresented.

Mobility in classes were not sufficient for the rising middle class, and masses of poor people were starving. Famine was real, and people eventually had nothing to lose when they starved. People who were in the leadership of the revolution, were often middle class origin, like lawyers, clerks, doctors, professionals, army commanders, and low end aristocracy. These people, often the most educated in France, became the biggest proponent of the reforms, implementation of guaranteed basic civic right, and written constitution. They saw that post-feudal society needed thorough overhaul.</span>
