The correct answer is: Representation in Congress.
Explanation:
The Southern states based their economy on slavery while the Northern states were free states, with bigger population due to the industrialization so their Representation in Congress was a big issue.
Debates of Missouri being admitted as a part of the Union after the Louisiana's Purchase generated two different opinions. <u>That Missouri should be admitted as a free state because the Northern states were free states and were against slavery and that Missouri should be admitted as a slave state because every state should be able to make their own laws and decide if they wanted to have slaves or not. </u>
<em>Southern states supported Missouri's decision of being a slave state</em>, so they argued that <u>The Three-Fifths Compromise stated that 3 out of every 5 slaves were to be counted in order to establish representation in Congress</u>, so if they were admitted as a slave state they would have less representation in Congress than they would have being a free state. Southern states also argued that African Americans in Northern states had different rights they couldn't join the army or enter to free public places, so it wouldn't make a big difference if Missouri was a free state or a slave state. Missouri was admitted as a slave state in exchange of Maine being admitted as a free state.

Is the correct answer
The correct answer is Athens has laws that treat all people fairly, regardless of social class.
Athens was the cradle of democracy. There were laws and these laws applied equally to all people and all free people could participate in the democratic process of voting and make new policies that would be designed for the best of the people. This didn't happen in other city-states which were often ruled by single emperors and the class division was great.<span />
