6 0

The Dred Scott decision, or lawsuit as you put it, was a case where it was stated by the court that people of African descent could not be American citizens and had no standing in court. They, whether free or not, had no power to regulate slavery in the United States. His rights have been violated for many reasons. He was accused of standing in court for just being black. It was very unconstitutional and found by many historians as one of the worst Supreme Court decisions ever made.

Was the British parliament justified in placing new taxes on the colonists after the French and Indian war?

butalik [34]

No because after the wars, King George 111 was left in a huge debt. So he taxed the colonists without their consent (opinion)on it. He created high taxes and acts ( such as the Iron act) to help pay HIS debt. IT wasn't fair because the people risked their life during war and now they have to pay the high taxes the king issued!!
