is it a b c or d

The correct answer is D) It ultimately failed to resolve the issue of slavery in the long-term.

The reason that the Missouri Compromise did not have lasting effects is that it only applied to certain territories and did not address the underlying issue of slavery. It is important to note that the Missouri Compromise only applied to the lands of the Louisiana Purchase and the lands of the Mexican Cession. This means that it did not address the issue of slavery in other parts of the United States. Additionally, the compromise relied on the concept of popular sovereignty, which allowed the residents of each territory to decide for themselves whether to allow or prohibit slavery. This led to ongoing debates and conflicts over the expansion of slavery into new territories. Furthermore, the Missouri Compromise limited the number of states that could be admitted per year based on whether they allowed slavery or not. While this temporarily balanced the number of free and slave states, it did not provide a long-term solution. As a result, these limitations and shortcomings of the Missouri Compromise eventually led to the outbreak of the American Civil War. So, the combination of its limited scope, reliance on popular sovereignty, and temporary nature prevented the Missouri Compromise from having lasting effects in resolving the issue of slavery in the United States.
