Answer:

Living in a free state should make him a free man.

Explanation:

In the landmark case <em>Dread Scott v. Sandford</em>, known as Dread Scott case, the enslaved African American man, Dred Scott fought for his freedom. Scott was born into slavery in Virginia but had been living in Illinois and Wisconsin with his owners for more than four years at the time of the case in 1846. <u>He demanded his freedom on the grounds that these two states declared Missouri Compromise, and prohibited slavery, which would mean Scott is living as a free man in a free state.</u>

The case reached US Supreme Court which declared that the constitution does not claim citizenship for African Americans, whether they are free or slaves, which would mean Scott can’t fight for his rights and he does not have a claim over them. The court, therefore, declared black people aren’t US citizens and never could gain their rights as one.

This decision was one of the contributing factors to the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861.

How did compromise help things accomplish in Washington’s cabinet?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Compromise in Washington’s cabinet was a compromise between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson with James Madison.

This was a compromise within his cabinet and congressional leaders over debt in which Alexander Hamilton wanted to absorb all of the state's debt following the American Revolution to create a new American economic system, this stand leads to critics in Washington’s cabinet where States like Maryland, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Virginia who had already paid off the debts and they didn't want to be taxed to pay off debts for other states like Massachusetts and South Carolina who hasn't paid their debts.

However, Hamilton won the decision for the national government to take over and pay the state debts and compromise was that in exchange for southern votes, Hamilton promised to support locating the national capital in Washington D.C, in that Jefferson and Madison obtained the national capital (District of Columbia) for the South.

The compromise help things accomplish in Washington’s cabinet in which  United States attracted many foreign investors because of their willingness effort to repay their debts and the resolved the deadlock in congress.
