The Missouri Compromise, enacted in 1820, was an important legislative decision aimed at resolving the tensions between slave and free states in the United States. However, it had limitations that contributed to its inability to provide lasting effects.
Among the options you provided, the most relevant reason why the Missouri Compromise did not have lasting effects is:
**It relied on popular sovereignty.**
While the Missouri Compromise initially helped to maintain a balance between free and slave states by allowing Missouri to enter as a slave state and Maine as a free state, it ultimately set a precedent that allowed future territories to decide the slavery issue for themselves through popular sovereignty. This approach led to increased conflict, particularly evident in the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which negated some of the boundaries set by the Missouri Compromise and led to violence in "Bleeding Kansas."
Overall, while the Missouri Compromise was a temporary solution, the issue of slavery continued to escalate, which rendered the compromise ineffective in the long term.
