The Missouri Compromise
by Elyssa Hodge
The Missouri Compromise was created in order to authorize the people of the Missouri territory to form a constitution for themselves and state government. The Missouri compromise is very detailed it has the coordinates of each area involved and the laws that come with it. The voting age was still 21, and you couldn’t vote unless they were a white male who had resided in that territory for 3 months prior to the election. Certain amounts of representatives from each area were required in order to create a convention. Certain days were appointed for the election of these representatives. Lastly, resources were shared among the states.
