Answer 1

- Hallo!

- Three Facts -



• Dred Scott was a slave who moved to a free state with the consent of his then master Emerson

• The Court found that Scott was a slave who was not afforded the rights and protections under the Constitution regardless of whether or not he temporarily lived in a free state with the intent The Court continues to contrast African American.


• with Native Americans who have always been considered free and independent residents and states that the former have never been provided the same consideration and status. to become a permanent citizen.



- Three opinions -

• This case has been twice argued. After the argument at the last term, differences of opinion were found to exist among the members of the court; and as the questions in controversy are of the highest importance, and the court was at that time much pressed by the ordinary business of the term, it was deemed advisable to continue the case, and direct a re-argument on some of the points, in order that we might have an opportunity of giving to the whole subject a more deliberate [60 U.S. 393, 400] consideration.


• It has accordingly been again argued by counsel, and considered by the court; and I now proceed to deliver its opinion. There are two leading questions presented by the record: 1. Had the Circuit Court of the United States jurisdiction to hear and determine the case between these parties? And 2.


3. the United States for that district, to assert the title of himself and his family to freedom. The declaration is in the form usually adopted in that State to try questions of this description, and contains the averment necessary to give the court jurisdiction; that he and the defendant are citizens of different States; that is, that he is a citizen of Missouri, and the defendant a citizen of New York.



Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Fact :- Sandford, which said that all people of African descent, free or enslaved, were not United States citizens and therefore had no right to sue in federal court. In addition, he wrote that the Fifth Amendment protected slave owner rights because enslaved workers were their legal property.
