In the 1800s, why did the us government want to keep the number of free states and slave states equal? a) to prevent one region from becoming more economically unstable than another and to keep the us economy on an even keel b) to maintain a balance in congress between the number of representatives who supported slavery compared to those who opposed it c) to make it less likely that enslaved workers would attempt to escape a slave state to seek freedom in a free state d) to provide settlers in the territories the opportunity and the right to determine the issue of slavery for themselves

B) to maintain a balance in Congress between the number of representatives who supported slavery compared to those who opposed it is your best answer

As the north had more population in their states, they usually dominated the House of Representatives, and so the South looked for ways to dominate the Senate (as each state only gets 2 votes). This led to a stand-off, and a plan in which each country tries to get the same amount of seats.

hope this helps
