The correct response is:
**It determined the issue of slavery for any new state created out of the Louisiana Purchase.**
The Missouri Compromise, enacted in 1820, aimed to maintain a balance between slave and free states in the Senate by allowing Missouri to enter as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while also establishing a line (36°30' parallel) that determined the status of slavery in the territories west of the Mississippi River.
