Dred Scott decision, formally Dred Scott v. John F.A. Sandford, legal case in which the U.S. Supreme Court on March 6, 1857, ruled (7–2) that a slave (Dred Scott) who had resided in a free state and territory (where slavery was prohibited) was not thereby entitled to his freedom; that African Americans were not and could never be citizens of the United States; and that the Missouri Compromise (1820), which had declared free all territories west of Missouri and north of latitude 36°30′, was unconstitutional. The decision added fuel to the sectional controversy and pushed the country closer to civil war.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Actor/observer bias

Explanation:

In psychology, the actor/observer bias refers to the tendency to attribute our  own actions to external causes while attributing other people's behaviors to internal causes.

When the results of a situation are negative, if the negative outcome happened to the person, the person will likely attribute the outcome to external circumstances. But when it comes to other people, the person will attribute the outcome to the other person behaviors, habits or actions.

In this example, Jeremiah falls and thinks the ice is brutal. <u>He is attributing the fall to an external circumstance (the ice)</u>. But then, when his friend Ed falls on the same spot, he says his friend is really clumsy, <u>attributing the fall to an inner characteristic of his friend</u>. Therefore, this would be an example of actor/observer bias.
