The Missouri Compromise proposed that Missouri would be admitted to the Union as a slave state and Maine would be admitted as a free state. This compromise was aimed at maintaining a balance between slave and free states in the Senate. Additionally, it established a line (the 36°30′ parallel) across the Louisiana Territory, north of which slavery would be prohibited (except in Missouri). So the correct answer is:
**Missouri would be admitted to the Union as a slave state and Maine as a free state.**
**Missouri would be admitted to the Union as a slave state and Maine as a free state.**
