Read the passage from the opinion of the court in Dred Scott v. Sandford, written by Justice Taney. The question before us is, w
hether the class of persons described in the plea in abatement compose a portion of this people, and are constituent members of this sovereignty? We think they are not, and that they are not included, and were not intended to be included, under the word "citizens" in the Constitution, and can therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of the United States. On the contrary, they were at that time considered as a subordinate and inferior class of beings, who had been subjugated by the dominant race, and, whether emancipated or not, yet remained subject to their authority, and had no rights or privileges but such as those who held the power and the Government might choose to grant them. What is Taney’s claim in this passage? that African American people were covered by the Constitution’s definition of citizen that emancipated African American people had rights guaranteed by the government that African American people were not part of the group considered citizens by the Constitution that African American people would have to get the government's permission to be citizens
Taney's claim in the passage that African American people were not part of the group considered citizens by the Constitution
Explanation: In the passage Justice Taney claimed that the meaning of citizen according to the constitution does not consider the African American people as a part of citizens. Because even after emancipation there are race inferior activities. The African American people are not enjoying the rights according to the constitution. Still they are the subject to the authority.
