Answer:

In 1820, amid growing sectional tensions over the issue of slavery, the U.S. Congress passed a law that admitted Missouri to the Union as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while banning slavery from the remaining Louisiana Purchase lands located north of the 36º 30’ parallel.

Thomas Jefferson influenced the Missouri Compromise because he called for (C) The Northwest Ordinance, which limited the expansion of slavery

The Missouri Compromise:

  • Allowed Missouri to become a slave state
  • Allowed Maine to be a free state
  • Prohibited slavery in certain areas

This idea was acquired from the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 where Thomas Jefferson persuaded other delegates to allow territory past the Appalachians to become territories that would become states. Slavery was prohibited in these areas.

In conclusion, the Northwest Ordinance set the precedent that allowed the prohibition of slavery in the Missouri Compromise.
