Lincoln feared that the eventual result of the Dred Scott decision would be that slavery would become legal everywhere
Explanation:
Senator Lincoln fears on the Dred Scott v. Sandford case in 1857 decision was a result of the Supreme Court of United State ruling that slaves cannot become a citizen of the United State. The case at the Supreme Court as a result of Dred Scott asking to be free from slavery because the Northwest Territory through the 1787 Ordinance has abolished the slave trade.
However, Senator Lincoln's argument was that the ruling of the court will further strengthen and make the slaves' trade to be legalized everywhere.
NOTE!!!! despite Lincoln's opposition to the court ruling, he was however in support of the continuous slave trade in areas where it is still existing.
The form of government that they all have in common is a
Mayor-Council. Some of the characteristics of this type of government is that
the Council maintains legislative powers and that the Mayor is elected separately
from the council. It is also one of the most common practices in the states in
the US.
