c. Any enslaved people living in the territories would be freed after age 25.
d. Slavery would be allowed in certain areas but not in others.

Answer 1

d, some states now allowed slavery and some didn't

Answer 2

The correct answer to this question would be alternative D)"Slavery would be allowed in certain areas but not in others."

The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was the request by Missouri to be admitted to the Union as a Slave State. In other words, it meant that slavery was permitted in the territory.

The Congress then orchestrated a two-part compromise, granting Missouri's request but also admitting Maine as a free state.

Which meant that from then on,  There could be slaves in Missouri, but not in Maine.
