Answer:

Dred Scott case

Explanation:

The Dred Scott case happened in 1846, when a slave Dred Scott sued for his freedom. His master had brought him along on a trip to a territory where slavery was prohibited, and Scott said that by that right, he had become a free man. However, the Supreme Court upheld the practice of slavery, saying that slaves had no right to bring their cases to court, as they were considered sub-human. This decision stunned the nation, yet the Supreme Court stood by their choice.

Hope this helps!
