5. As part of the Dred Scott decision, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney argued in 1857 that Congress could not prohibit someone from

taking slaves into a federal territory because slaves were not citizens of the United States. Federal territories could not rule against slavery. Slave trade was still allowed in every state. Slaves were property, and property was defended by law.

Answer:

A. slaves were not citizens of the United States.

Explanation:

Dred Scott decision was a watershed decision ruled by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1857. A suit was filed in the court by Dred Scott demanding his freedom from slavery. He claimed that since his owner took him to free state Illinois from Missouri, and died there, Dred considered himself a free slave. But was brought back to slavery under Missouri Compromise Act. In 1857, the Chief Justice Roger B. Taney ruled that Dred Scott is a slave, and the term 'citizen' does not apply to slaves, therefore, none of the rights provided for citizens of the US apply to Dred Scott.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Pavel [41]
The 7th amendment states that civil cases such as lawsuits with an amount greater than $20 that are based on disagreements between businesses or people, have a right to be decided by a jury in federal court. After the jury settled the case it should go back to trial again. This amendment relates to the theme of freedom because our freedom is determined by the jury during cases and not a the government. By having the jury determining our freedom in cases it protects our rights from being abused by the government.
