Answer: A person’s property can’t be taken away without due process.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dred Scott v. John F.A. Sandford (1857) was a legal case in which the Supreme Court, following Sandford´s claim, ordered that Dred Scott, a slave who had lived in a state where slavery was forbidden, had no right to freedom. It was also stated that African Americans could never become citizens and that the Missouri Compromise (1820) was unconstitutional.
This ruling worsened the sectional dispute, in a path to civil war.
