PLEASE HELP ASAP :(

What was the US Supreme Court's decision in the Dred Scott case?

His present owner had to return him to his previous owner

His case could not be heard because he was not a citizen of the United States.

He should be freed immediately

He could not be freed because he was property

Answer:

His case could not be heard because he wasn’t a citizen

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because he had escaped and was living in a free territory didn’t mean he was actually free and it was decided he was unable to sue in federal court
