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.

Which group in rwanda was involved in the countries civil war and is resposible for genocide of approximately 800,000 tutsis?
Tamiku [17]
This was a genocide committed by the Hutu majority government. They believe that the Tutsis are genetically inferior and without government opposition since Hutus hold the majority they were allowed to commit this genocide pretty much without consequence. Famous genocide because it was mostly committed with axes and machetes and was extremely barbaric

Effects of trusts and monopolies on American business.
lys-0071 [83]
In general, the effects of trusts and monopolies on American business have been positive, in that they have created an environment in which they can thrive. This means, however, that they have been mostly negative for consumers, because competition is reduced.
