The Missouri Compromise temporarily settled the debate over slavery by allowing Missouri enter the Union as a slave state. Maine was allowed to enter the Union as a free state.
There was not a major decision that led to it but there were many that led to it such as the dred Scott decision and the Missouri compromise and the compromise of 1850 and the Lincoln- Douglas debate
Not battle, but a debate. The Missouri Compromise of 1820.
Because of the enormous new territories acquired from Mexico. These extended so far either side of the Missouri line that the Missouri Compromise was not workable. This intensified the debate over new territories joining the Union as slave-states.

There was no Civil War while the Missouri Compromise was in force. It kept the peace for thirty years. It was the debate over the admission of California, following the Mexican War, that made the Missouri Compromise inoperable (because the new state extended so far on either side of the line) and a new Compromise had to be worked out. This one did not last.

The Compromise of 1850 undid much of the work of the Missouri Compromise made a few years prior. Unfortunately, the Compromise of 1850 did not alleviate the tensions of the slave debate, and the Civil War broke out just ten years later.

This caused a debate since at the time, America had a balanced amount of slave states and free states. If Missouri was admitted into a slave state, it would tip the balance. Thus, Henry Clay developed the Missouri Compromise, Allowing Maine as a free state+ Missouri as slave, keeeping the balance in check.
It was all about how to avoid having an argument each time a new state needed to be admitted to the Union. In both cases, a compromise was worked-out. The Missouri Compromise lasted thirty years. The Compromise of 1850 soon collapsed.
