"drew an imaginary line across the 36°30' line of latitude of the Louisiana Territory, establishing the boundaries for future free and slave states."

It admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state to keep the Senate balance, and prohibited slavery in the Louisiana Purchase territory north of 36°30' (except Missouri). It did not make future admissions unconstitutional nor tip the balance in favor of free states.
