Answer:

Admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state.

Explanation:

The Missouri Compromise (March 3, 1820) was a United States federal legislation that stopped northern attempts to forever prohibit slavery's expansion by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state in exchange for legislation which prohibited slavery in the remaining Louisiana Purchase lands north of the 36°30′ parallel.
