Answer 1

According to the Missouri Compromise of 1820, slavery would be legal in the territory south of the 36°30′ parallel. Among the options provided, Arkansas was located south of this line and thus slavery was legal there. The other states listed—Montana, Illinois, and Iowa—were located north of the line and did not allow slavery according to the Missouri Compromise.

So, the correct answer is **Arkansas**.
