After the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the Senate was balanced with 12 free states and 12 slave states, each having two senators. This compromise allowed Missouri to enter as a slave state while Maine entered as a free state, maintaining the equilibrium. Thus, each region—free and slave—had an equal representation of 24 senators in total.
