How did the missouri compromise, proposed by henry clay, try to resolve the slavery problem?

The Missouri Compromise tried to preserve a balance between the number of slave states and the number of free states.

Explanation:

The Missouri Compromise (1820) admitted Missouri into the Union as a slave state with Maine being added as a free state at the same time, to keep the balance of slave and free states equal.  It also prohibited any future slave states north of the latitude line 36 1/2 degrees north of the equator in territories of the Louisiana Purchase, with the exception of Missouri (north of that line) being admitted as a slave state.
