The reason that the Missouri Compromise did not have lasting effects is **it relied on popular sovereignty**. The idea of popular sovereignty, which allowed territories to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery, eventually led to increased tensions and conflicts, particularly evident in events like "Bleeding Kansas." The compromise itself was ultimately unable to settle the underlying issues surrounding slavery in the United States.
