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.

About 2500 years ago, a prince named Siddhartha Gautama began to question his sheltered, luxurious life in the palace. He left the palace and saw four sights: a sick man, an old man, a dead man and a monk. These sights are said to have shown him that even a prince cannot escape illness, suffering and death. The sight of the monk told Siddhartha to leave his life as a prince and become a wandering holy man, seeking the answers to questions like "Why must people suffer?" "What is the cause of suffering?" Siddartha spent many years doing many religious practices such as praying, meditating, and fasting until he finally understood the basic truths of life. This realization occurred after sitting under a Poplar-figtree in Bodh Gaya, India for many days, in deep meditation. He gained enlightenment, or nirvana, and was given the title of Buddha, which means Enlightened One.

jok3333 [9.3K]

The correct answer is - B.) Many African nations demanded that colonial governments grant them their independence.

After the end of WW II most of the African countries that still hadn't gained independence started demanding it from their colonial governments. This is was due to the fact that most of the colonial countries were significantly weakened and that the African countries were reflecting on the other countries around the world that gained independence. Not surprisingly, most of them did gained independence without any major problems because the colonial countries of Europe were all on the verge of economic collapse and were not able to sustain their colonies anymore.
