Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Because it "still" allowed slavery, but it did not address the core slavery issue. The Missouri Compromise was even declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott decision, which ruled that Congress did not have the authority to prohibit slavery in the territories. And the Missouri Compromise was repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act. ~~ |
