Question

Which situation was affected depending on whether a state was admitted as a free state or a slave state?

Answer 1

The balance of power in the United States Congress was affected depending on whether a state was admitted as a free state or a slave state. Free states had more representatives in Congress, which gave them more power to pass laws and influence policy. Slave states, on the other hand, had fewer representatives in Congress, which gave them less power to pass laws and influence policy.
