Answer:

In dred Scott’s court case, Scott argued he should be free because he had lived in  Illinois and Wisconsin.

Explanation:

Dred Scott was a slave who unsuccessfully sued for his freedom in the famous Dred Scott v. Sandford trial. His lawsuit was based on the fact that he and his wife Harriet had lived in states and territories where slavery was prohibited, including Illinois and parts of the Louisiana Purchase. The court ruled against Scott by 7-2 votes, on the grounds that slaves were property and that owners of their property should not be disposed of, except through a rule of law intervention (5th Amendment to the Constitution). Another reason was that in order to be able to file a lawsuit, American citizenship was required. At the time, however, black slaves were viewed as the private property of their owners and therefore had no right to citizenship. This process was an important step in the chain of events that led to the Civil War.

Read the quotation from the Declaration of Independence.
VladimirAG [237]

The correct answer is The colonists could export goods only to Britain.

When the American colonists were under the control of Great Britain, they were under the influence of a mercantilist system. This economic system was created as a means to to benefit the mother country (England) by gaining natural resources from North America and developing a favorable balance of trade. Essentially, the colonies economy existed to solely benefit the British.

This severely limited the American colonists trade with other countries. This angered colonists at different times, as they felt it was an unnecessary constraint implemented by the British government.
