Question

what was the importance of latitude 36°30 to the missouri compromise? native americans would be given land in missouri north of that line. states would get one additional senator if they were located south of that line. enslavement would be banned in all territory north of that line. missouri would only keep the land in their territory south of that line.

Explanation:

The Missouri Compromise established that slavery (enslavement) would be prohibited in the Louisiana Territory north of the latitude 36°30', except for Missouri. The first option is incorrect as Native Americans' land wasn't related to this line. The second option is wrong as the line didn't relate to senators. The fourth option is incorrect as Missouri was admitted as a slave state and the line was for future territories, not Missouri's land retention.

Answer:

C. Enslavement would be banned in all territory north of that line.
