You didn’t provide any multiple chooses to the question so I can’t exactly help.
If taking about Dred Scott, it might be said that he sued for his freedom but lost. He was a slave and his freedom was denied even though he lived in a free territory.
-Solomon Northrup was a back freedman who lived in New York. He was capture and sold into the New Orleans slave market.
-Roger B Taney repealed effectively the Missouri compromise.
The Ancient Greek had a government called Constitutional Republic. Which means, that the country is considered a "public matter, not the private concern or property of the rulers.
Hope this helps!!!
