I pled the fifth

It refers to the 5th amendment

Answer:

I've heard this phrased as "I plead the fifth" but it typically means that they are invoking the 5th amendment. Whether in jest or an actual legal situation, by saying this they invoke their right to not incriminate themselves.

As the 5th amendment means that someone can't be punished without evidence. Whatever you say may be considered evidence.

Does that help?

Why was the decision in Dred Scott v. Stanford so significant?
KIM [24]

Answer:

It also declared the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional. While it was intended to settle the slavery debate and tensions going on at the time, it instead deepened tensions between the abolitionist North and pro-slavery South that would eventually lead to Civil War. In contemporary times, Dred Scott is considered one of, if not the worst Supreme Court ruling in the Supreme Courts history.
