Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is A. The Dred Scott case was a fight over civil rights. Dred scott wanted to be free since his owner had previously been in a free state. The judges voted in favor of the slave states. They believed that slaves were property and property could not be taken from its owner without just reason.
