Answer: Sandford is a landmark case announced by the Supreme Court of the United States on March 6, 1857, which ruled that blacks were not United States citizens. As a result, blacks were not afforded government or court protection, and Congress could no longer ban slavery from a federal territory. So this narrows down to answer (B). Your Welcome!
