The correct answer is A) Slavery might become legal everywhere.

The Dred Scott vs. Sandford case was an important Supreme Court case about the rights of slaves in American society. In this case, Dred Scott was a slave who was brought to live in the free territory of Illinois. After his master passed away, he sued for his freedom. He argued that since he lived in a free territory, he should be free.

However, the Supreme Court ruled that slaves are not citizens, therefor they do not have the right to file lawsuits against their owners. Along with this, it also ruled that slave owners could bring their slaves wherever they want. This is because slaves are considered property not people. This is why Northerners feared slavery being legal everywhere, as there was now nothing stopping slave owners from bringing their slaves to the North.

Answer:

The AOC (Articles of Confederation) gave the state government more power then the national government because the founding fathers were afriad that the federal goverment would become a tyranny, like Great Britian. The federal goverment didn't have the power to request troops from the states so the US military relied on volunteers, which there were few of. The state militaries didn't send any troops so the US was unable to repond. The AOC existed for the first 5 years but then they had another constituional convention in which they overturned the AOC and drafted the constituion we have today.
