Answer:

"Dred Scott Decision," which was very controversial.

Explanation:

DRED SCOTT DECISION where the Supreme Court ruling stated slaves did not have a right to sue since they were not citizens, but merely property.

These were their arguments.

Dred Scott:

When a person enters a free State or territory, the free status overrides the previous condition of servitude. Since slavery was forbidden in the free States and territories by

federal and State laws, Dred Scott became free when he entered Illinois and Wisconsin.

Sandford:

To deprive a person of property (in this case, Dred Scott) without due process or just compensation violated the 5th Amendment, which states that “No person shall be… deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” Dred Scott was still a slave and no master's property rights could be limited or taken away by a State or federal law.

Garrison is referring to the Liberator

Explanation:

William Lloyd Garrison said ,I'll be quite as harsh as reality and as intransigent as justice. I do not want to think, talk or write moderately on this topic.

No! no! Tell a man which house is still on fire and give him a mild warning; tell him to save his wife reasonably from the hand of the ravener; ask the mother to slowly extract her child from the fire into that he fell.

I'm in earnest—-I'm not going to make a mistake—-I'm not going to excuse—-I'm not going to withdraw a single inch—and I'm going to be here.

The complacency of the citizens is enough to spring from each statue and hasten the dead to rise.
