Answer:

The correct answer is C. The Supreme Court decision that overturned both the Missouri Compromise and popular sovereignty.

Explanation:

Dred Scott v. Sandford was a ruling of the United States Supreme Court in 1857, depriving African Americans of federal legal capacity and allowing slavery in the federal territories. The Missouri Compromise was declared unconstitutional.

Dred Scott, an African American slave had by his owner, John F.A. Sanford, taken to the Minnesota Territory where Congress banned slavery. He therefore sued him and demanded his freedom. In the lower courts he had been right, but the Supreme Court dismissed his case.

The ruling, which had been written by Supreme Court President Roger B. Taney, stated that African Americans could not be US citizens and therefore lacked federal legal capacity. The Court also found that the United States Congress did not have constitutional powers to regulate slavery in the federal territories. It was then only the second time that the court declared a federal statute unconstitutional.

How might life be different today if humans had stepped into the fossil record sooner?
RSB [31]

We can only theorize about how the life would be if the humans appeared earlier on the Earth, as we can not create a perfect and accurate picture of how would the things have been.

If the humans were developing in the same manner as we had, than we can say that the humans would have been much more advanced. The technology would have much better, probably missions to the other planets would have been regular. The population would probably be higher, with most of the population being concentrated in highly advanced megalopolises.

The environment though would probably be in a terrible condition, with enormous loss in biodiversity across the globe, decline in the forests, and much emptier (with life) oceans. On the other hand, there's every chance that with the more advanced technology multiple animals and plants would have been resurrected, even some extinct very long time ago.
