The United States Congress has the power to admit new states.
The Missouri Compromise agreed to admit Missouri as a slave-holding state, and at the same time agreed to admit Maine as a non-slave-holding state. It also entailed that no states above the latitudinal line 36°30' would be admitted as a slave-holding state, promoting a Congressional balance of power.
The three conditions were: to admit Missouri as a free state, to admit Missouri statehood as a slave state where slavery was to be prohibited north of the 36th parallel in the rest of the Louisiana Purchase, Maine a part of Massachusetts was to be admitted as a free state.

because benedick overhears from a conversation between the friar and borachio about the whole margaret and conrade sex scene (pretending to be hero)
he tricked don pedro and claudio into beleiving that hero had done wrong
Borachio was making love to Margaret in Hero's room, while calling her Hero. It was this that Don Pedro and Claudio were directed to overhear by Don John. At first blush it may sound as if Margaret ought to have been insulted by this--if her lover is moaning out some other girl's name he isn't thinking of the girl he is with, now, is he? But perhaps this couple had a fantasy sex game where they pretended to be famous lovers: she'd be Cleopatra and he'd be Antony. And on this occasion she was Hero and he was Leander. Anyway, Borachio's confidence to Conrade is overheard by the watch who arrest them.
