What Tocqueville warned might threaten American civic life and democracy was a desire for personal gain over the common good.

Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) was a French political thinker that was interested in the political system of the United States. That is why he traveled to America in 1831 to study the prison system but he gained so much more knowledge about the United States politics, economics, and society that he expresses his thoughts and concerns in the book "Democracy in America," that was published in 1835.

Answer:

the Supreme Court ruled that Congress could not outlaw slavery anywhere in the United States.

Explanation:

In the Dred Scott v. Stanford case 1847, Dred Scott sued for freedom citing that as far as he has visited two free states he is automatically a free individual and cannot be re-enslaved. However he lost the case. In 1854, the case was brought to United States Supreme Court and Chief Justice Roger Taney rules against him. In his ruling, he said that all people of African descent, free or slave, were not United States citizens and therefore had no right to sue in federal court. he also wrote that the Fifth Amendment protected slave owner rights because slaves were their legal property.
