3:) The Missouri Compromise of 1850 was an agreement to open southern territories west of the Mississippi to slavery while closing northern territories to slavery. The correct answer is A. The Missouri Compromise was made by Congress to try and diffuse the rivalries in the state. The state wanted to be a slave state legally and many opposed this. This led to the Compromise. The government wanted the states to be evenly numbered as to who had slaves, Missouri owning slaves freely would make the number uneven.
In this way the Declaration of Independence makes is crystal clear that government has one overarching purpose; that of protecting the inherent human rights of life, liberty and property (pursuit of happiness).
