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.

jonny [76]

Answer:

Mazu has these powers because She was no longer an ordinary girl, the gods had touched her.

Explanation:

What had occupied mazu's mind initially was the act of weaving till her mind became peaceful and still. She had sat down to weave because she was worried for her fishermen brothers who were outside in the water.

Mazu was able to see her brothers after she fell into a trance and became extraordinary. She had been touched by the Gods who found her to be courageous and also a person who did not show off. She was thought to have a rarest form of courage that is balanced courage and that is why she was touched.

The reason she is able to see her brothers struggling to survive at sea and the reason she is able to guide them to the largest pieces of wood was due to the gods who touched her and made her extraordinary.
