Simply because it was a compromise - offering each side only part of what it wanted.
As both sides were equally dissatisfied wirh it, however, it managed to preserve the balance, and it kept the pece for thirty years, until the admission of California defeated the terms of the compromise.

∙ 7y agoThe Missouri Compromise of 1850, much like the one of 1820, required periodic attention for the US Congress as new territories and states were added to the US. Rather than having a continuing congressional debates on balancing the number of free and slave states, Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois proposed a new method for handling the slave state issue. He created, and Congress approved of a popular sovereignty solution. With this came citizen involvement on the free state -slave state question. Voters in any US territory would vote on the slavery issue before applying for statehood. The first result of the was the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1864. This made future Missouri style compromises unnecessary.

∙ 10y agoTo be clear, the Missouri Compromise of 1820, engineered among others, by Speaker of the House, Henry Clay was a success in creating the method of keeping the number of slave States and Non - slave States in balance.
The less successful Missouri Compromise of 1850 was so because of new geographical situations created by the US's expanding territories. In 1854 Congress passed the Kansas - Nebraska Act calling for voters in territories to vote on the issue of slavery. This negated the work of the 1850 Missouri Compromise.

∙ 8y agoThere was every reason that the US , growing rapidly westward, would continue to cause an imbalance between slave and free states. The 1850 compromise was a stopgap measure to avoid a major crisis. Sooner or later a more permanent solution to the slave versus free state problem would require a real solution.

Compare and contrast the Compromise of 1850 and the Missouri Compromise of 1820?
The Compromise of 1850 can be compared to the Compromise of 1820 (Missouri Compromise), mainly by comparing how the two compromises were different and alike in how they were able to successfully appease both the North and the South on the issue of slavery. The Compromise of 1850 was designed to prevent the South from seceding, and delaying the Civil War. It was created mostly to deal with the problem on how to annex California into the Union, because the North and the South disputed over whether or not to split California into two different states, the Northern section being slave-free, and the Southern section allowing slavery. The Compromise of 1820 prohibited slavery above the line of 30o60' North, except in Missouri, therefore solving the problem of how to divide the land acquired by the Union in the Mexican War.
