Explanation:

1. The Missouri Compromise was proposed in 1820 to address the issue of slavery in new states.
2. Maine was admitted as a free state to maintain the balance between free and slave states.
3. The compromise aimed to keep the balance of power between free and slave states in the Senate, so the balance remained equal.

• Missouri was admitted as a slave state, so the option "Missouri was granted statehood as a free state" is incorrect.
• The compromise established that states north of the 36°30′ parallel (except Missouri) would be free, not related to being east of Missouri, so "Any state east of Missouri would be allowed to vote on slavery" is incorrect.

Answer:

A. It was proposed in 1820.
C. Maine was granted statehood as a free state.
E. The balance of power between free and slave states remained equal.
