Decide on how you believe Congress should act regarding allowing Missouri into the union and come up with an agreement. that you will take to your Congressional peers.
All members must agree to final decision
You may use parts or all of the Missouri Compromise, but everyone must be able to state why they agree to the final terms given their regional goals
