This case is formally known as the "Dred Scott vs. Sandford" case.

ANSWER: <u>The Dred Scott v. Sandford Case</u>, decided on March 6, 1857.

Dred Scot, a slave-borned, lived in Illinois and the Louisiana Territory (where slavery was prohibited) for 10 years from 1830 to 1840 approximately. When he returned to Missouri, Scott filed suit in the court for his freedom in 1847, alleging that his residence in free territory made him a free man.

However, his case wasn't brought before the Supreme Court until 1857, in which it was held that such residence didn't entitle his freedom and that no black people, whether free or slave, could be an American citizen, therefore he didn't have the right to sue in federal court.

Another questionable decision resulting from the case was the ruling that the Missouri Compromise (1820), which had declared Missouri as a free state, was unconstitutional.

Many consider that the decisions made in this case helped to move faster to the American Civil War.

How did the Connecticut Compromise in the Philadelphia Convention lead to the acceptance of the Constitution?
fiasKO [112]

Answer:  a) It allowed each state to choose its delegates for the Senate, which established equal representation among the states.

Further details:

The Connecticut Compromise was a measure decided during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  Also known as "The Great Compromise," it resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.   It was important because it created a two-chamber legislature, with proportional representation in the House and equal representation for all states in the Senate.

The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size. (This was the essence of the Virginia Plan.) The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  (This was the New Jersey Plan.)

The Great Compromise (aka Connecticut Compromise) created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature, with different rules for representation in each chamber. Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

In 1762, Pontiac enlisted support from practically every Indian tribe from Lake Superior to the lower Mississippi for a joint campaign to expel the British from the formerly French lands. According to Pontiac's plan, each tribe would seize the nearest fort and then join forces to wipe out the undefended settlements.
