Answer 1

B nd E

Step-by-step explanation:

The Supreme Court verdict for the Scott vs, Sanford case ruled 7-2 for Sanford. The court ruled that since Dred Scott was African American, he couldn't be an American citizen as the Constitution excluded African-Americans from being citizens, therefore he couldn't bring his case before the court. They also ruled that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional because since Scott was a slave when he was brought to a free state, that did not make him free.
