Answer:
a. Missouri Compromise.
Explanation:
The US government passed an agreement called the Missouri Compromise in 1820 that allowed Missouri to be a slave state. This agreement made a sectional demarcation by allowing the state of Missouri to be a slave state while making Maine a free state and also the areas north of Missouri to be also free soil.
