Answer:

Dred Scott v. Sandford, decided by the U.S. Supreme Court on March 6, 1857, declared that Black people, whether free or enslaved, could not be American citizens and were thus constitutionally unable to sue for citizenship in the federal courts. The Dred Scott decision thus increased tensions and pushed the country closer toward the outbreak of the American Civil War (1861–65). The decision also brought about the destruction of the reputation of Chief Justice Taney, who is remembered now almost solely for the blatantly proslavery decision he wrote and for his demeaning comments about African Americans.

noname [10]

Answer:

By the ruling monarchs.

Explanation:

The term Absolute monarch refers to the ruler or the monarch that has a complete control and power. Hence, this kind of monarch is also responsible for determining the rights of the citizens’. On the other hand, the term “elected representatives” refers to a body that represents the people that have elected them who is to determine their (citizens’) rights in return. “By the citizens themselves” simply refers to direct democracy, where the people have direct votes. “By nobility” means, people who have higher ranks have more power.
