	Missouri Compromise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Missouri Compromise, also called the Compromise of 1820, was an agreement passed in 1820 between the pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the United States, involving primarily the regulation of slavery in the western territories.
		The compromise was specifically repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854.
		These disputes, involving as they did the question of the relative powers of Congress and the states, tended to turn the Democratic-Republicans, who were becoming nationalized, back again toward their old state sovereignty principles to prepare the way for the Jacksonian-Democratic Party.

		The House rejected this compromise bill, but after a conference committee of members of both houses was appointed, the bills were treated separately, and in Mar., 1820, Maine was made a state and Missouri was authorized to adopt a constitution having no restrictions on slavery.
		A provision in the Missouri constitution barring the immigration of free fls to the state was objectionable to many Northern Congressmen, and necessitated another congressional compromise.
		Not until the Missouri legislature pledged that nothing in its constitution would be interpreted to abridge the rights of citizens of the United States was the charter approved and Missouri admitted to the Union (Aug., 1821).

	Compromise
		Compromise is a basic negotiation process in which both parties give up something that they want in order to get something else they want more.
		Compromises usually occur in win-lose situations -- when there is a fixed pie to be divided up, and whatever one side gets, the other side loses.
		Compromises still tend to be made in interest-based bargaining, but they are usually more creative than simply "splitting the difference." The example of trading off money for time in the house-buying scenario is one example of compromises of interests that yielded a win-win solution.

	Compromise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A compromise is an agreement (or proposed agreement) to accept a situation in which the parties get variations from what they originally sought, to achieve a compatible outcome.

	Legal Definition of Compromise
		COMPROMISE - An agreement between two or more persons, who, to avoid a lawsuit, amicably settle their differences, on such terms as they can agree upon.
		The compromise may relate to a civil claim, either as a matter of contract or for a tort, but it must be of something uncertain; for if the debt be certain and undisputed, a payment of a part will not, of itself, discharge the whole.
		The compromise puts an end to the suit, if it be proceeding, and bars any suit which may afterwards be instituted.

	Digital History
		The Constitution was a document based upon compromise: between larger and smaller states, between proponents of a strong central government and those who favored strong state governments, and, above all, between northern and southern states.
		Of all the compromises on which the Constitution rested, perhaps the most controversial was the Three-Fifths Compromise, an agreement to count three-fifths of a state's slaves in apportioning Representatives, Presidential electors, and direct taxes.
		Southern states had wanted representation apportioned by population; after the Virginia Plan was rejected, the Three-Fifths Compromise seemed to guarantee that the South would be strongly represented in the House of Representatives and would have disproportionate power in electing Presidents.
