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.

What problem was caused by the Slaughterhouse Cases?

finlep [7]

Answer:

C. Cities were not able to control businesses.

Explanation:

The Slaughterhouse Cases was as a result of an 1869 Louisiana legislation that granted the monopoly of the slaughtering business to one corporation, which led to a court suit by other slaughterhouses that said that such legislation infringed on their privileges as American businessmen.

The case was lost by a five-to-four majority stating that states retained jurisdiction over citizens and federal rights did not extend to the property rights of the aggrieved.

The problem that this brought was that cities were not able to control businesses.
