The institution the south wanted in every state was slavery, so that slave owners would not be inconvenienced by having to dress them selves or going without their concubines.

False statement. What was requested, and Constitutionally required, from existing States, was compliance with Article IV, Section 2, Clause 3, of the original U.S. Constitution.

So you agree that the slave states wanted to force the north to admit slaves, to enforce southern slave laws.

Now that is clear, do you think that a good idea?
