The Dred Scott Supreme Court case ruled that slaves are property and are allowed in all states/territories, even if slavery is outlawed in the state constitution.
This idea supports the concept of nullification, as states that abolished slavery would nullify (refuse) to follow this ruling because they felt it was unconstitutional.
This idea also limited the power of the federal government to restrict the expansion of slavery because the court ruled that slaves do not have legal rights and are considered property no matter where they go. This meant that slavery can essentially exist anywhere in the US and the federal government couldn't change that unless they made a national law/amendment that outlawed slavery.
Answer:
The American colonies developed forms of self-government because they were given a great amount of liberty from their inception.
Explanation:
For example, the Puritan colonies of New England were established by private individuals, and while they legally belonged to the Kingdom of England, they were very independent: town assemblies in each colony controlled almost every aspect of political and legal life.
The importance of political precedence is that the colonists developed a self-governing culture, so when this culture was threatened by Britain, they disagreed with this, and launched the American Revolution.

Answer:
As the North industrialized rapidly between 1820 and 1860, railroads helped create --and prospered from -- the rise of factory production and diversified large-scale agriculture. In the South, railroads played a marginal role in the cotton and tobacco economy.
