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.

Which event began the Korean War?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The event that began the Korean War was a military aggression by a communist nation.

Explanation:

After the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to divide Korea in two. They drew the border in parallel 38, leaving the North in charge of the Soviet Union and the South in charge of the United States. Each superpower controlled in its respective area the constitution of two new states that remained under their corresponding orbits: the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the north and the Republic of Korea in the south.

Although negotiations were held for the reunification of Korea in the months before the war, tension intensified with cross-border skirmishes and incursions in parallel 38. The escalation of tension degenerated into an open war when North Korea invaded South Korea on June 25th, 1950.
