A) It made slavery illegal in new states north of the 36th parallel.
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was an agreement that regulated the extension of slavery in the western territories of the United States. It allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state while Maine was admitted as a free state, and it established the 36°30′ parallel as the boundary line north of which slavery would be prohibited in future states.
