Read the passage from the opinion of the court in Dred Scott v. Sandford, written by Justice Taney. The question then arises, wh

ether the provisions of the Constitution, in relation to the personal rights and privileges to which the citizen of a State should be entitled, embraced the negro African race, at that time in this country, or who might afterwards be imported, who had then or should afterwards be made free in any State; and to put it in the power of a single State to make him a citizen of the United States, and endue him with the full rights of citizenship in every other State without their consent? Does the Constitution of the United States act upon him whenever he shall be made free under the laws of a State, and raised there to the rank of a citizen, and immediately clothe him with all the privileges of a citizen in every other State, and in its own courts? Which statement could best be used as an effective counterclaim to this claim?
A. States should decide who is free and who is not.
B. A person who is free in one state cannot be a citizen.
C. Taney cannot deny Scott citizenship because it is a federal right.
D. Other states should have a say over one state's decision.

Answer:

C. Taney cannot deny Scott citizenship because it is a federal right.

Explanation:

The Constitution decides citizenship because it is a federal right. Citizenship is for the entire nation not just a single state therefore it cannot be determined by each state individually. In this passage, it debates on the rights of a citizen as determined by each state individually.

Observe that as Hrothgar begins to speak about Grendel in lines 207-210, the mood becomes bleak and despairing. What repeated so
kirill [66]

Answer:

The repeated sounds that the poet has used in these lines to create the mood of bleak and despair is alliteration.

Explanation:

Beowulf is an epic poem written in Old English, and one of the earliest surviving text.

In lines 207-210, the poet has used the repeated sounds of alliteration to create the mood of bleak and despair.

Alliteration is a device which repeats the same consonant sound at the beginning of a word in the same sentence.

<u>The words are, in which alliterative sounds are used, 'heavy', 'heart', 'hall.'</u>

The poet creates bleak and despairing mood using these words. Bleak means cold and miserable, whereas, despairing means hopeless. Using repeatitive sounds of alliterative words, the poet manages to create this mood of coldness and hopelessness in lines 207-210.
