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.

Three major weaknesses of the articles of confederation
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The federal government didn't have the power to tax states only state governments had the power to levy taxes which meant the federal government would have to request money from the states to be able to pay off debts, the federal government was too weak to enforce laws, and changing a law would require all 13 states to agree.
