Answer 1

The following are the correct answers

1) Extending the Missouri Compromise- The Missouri Compromise represents a compromise position because this law allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state and Maine to enter as a free state. This law also allowed slavery to exist below the 36'30 line while making it illegal north of this line (besides Missouri). This shows that both sides get a part of what they want.
