The first statement is correct.
The Missouri Compromise (1820) admitted Maine as a free state and Missouri as a slave state and drew an imaginary line at latitude 36°30′ across the Louisiana Territory (excepting Missouri) prohibiting slavery north of that line. It did not make it unconstitutional to admit future slave or free states; and rather than immediately tipping the balance, the compromise was designed to preserve the Senate balance between free and slave states.
