Answer:

The following agreements were not part of the Missouri Compromise:

-admit Missouri as a free state

-admit Maine as a slave state

-Congress could not determine the expansion of slavery into the territories

Explanation:

The Missouri Compromise was an agreement taken in 1820 between the representatives of the slave and abolitionist states in the United States Congress in relation to the regulation of slavery in the Western territories, which in the future would become states, to maintain the majority, or at least equality, of the number of states opposed to slavery, existing from the creation of the United States until then.

The compromise arose from the need to maintain the balance that existed between the 11 non-slave states (New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, founders, and Vermont, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois), and the other 11 slave states (Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, founders, and Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama), when discussing in 1819 the law of admission of the new state of Missouri, slave, which would unbalance the composition of the Senate (each state had and has two representatives, regardless of its population), in favor of the slave states. In the House there was no such balance because its representatives were elected proportionally to the population, larger in the northern states.

The negotiated solution that was reached, the following year, on March 2, 1820, consisted in admitting the state of Missouri as a slave state, while creating the state of Maine, (which depended on the state of Massachusetts), as a non-slave state.

Also, and to maintain in the future the balance between states of one type and another, it was agreed to establish a dividing line, defined by the parallel 36º 30 ', as the future limit of the western slavery and abolitionist states.
