A.He was a slave who argued he was free.

Dred Scott was a slave, who is very well known for the Dred Scott v. Sandford Case, in which he filed suit in the court for his freedom in 1847, alleging that his residence in Illinois (a free state) and the Louisiana Territory (where slavery was prohibited) from 1830 to 1840 approximately should make him a free man.

Despite his efforts and bravery, the Supreme Court on March 6, 1857, denied his freedom alleging that black people didn't have the right to sue in federal court because they weren't American citizens. And, unfortunately, Dred Scott remained a slave.

Loyalty to which governing model was displaced by ideas advanced in the declaration of independence and the u.S constitution?

nlexa [21]

Answer:

The monarchy or the rule by divine right of a king.

Explanation:

Divine rights of kings was the political doctrine of England, according to which it was believed that a king and a queen was divinely appointed by God and their decisions must not be questioned. According to this political doctrine, questioning the decisions of the Kings and Queen would be like questioning God.

The Declaration of Independence of the United States was the opposition to this idea of monarchy. The Declaration was formulated by Thomas Jefferson and adopted in 1776, creating a new state of the United States of America.
