O C. Maine and West Virginia
O D. Missouri and Maine

Respuesta :

Answer:

O D. Missouri and Maine

Explanation:

First, Missouri would be admitted to the union as a slave state, but would be balanced by the admission of Maine, a free state, that had long wanted to be separated from Massachusetts. Second, slavery was to be excluded from all new states in the Louisiana Purchase north of the southern boundary of Missouri.
