Answer:

The answer should be B) Slaves had no rights and that they were considered property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Dred Scott decision was the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on March 6, 1857, that having lived in a free state and territory did not entitle an enslaved person, Dred Scott, to his freedom. The decision argued that, as someone's property, Scott was not a citizen and could not sue in a federal court. Hope this helped :)
