In the Dred Scott case, the Supreme Court decided
A. the Compromise of 1850 was illegal because it was illegal for Congress to deprive a slave owner of property (slaves) without the due process of law.
B. the Missouri Compromise was illegal because it was illegal for Congress to deprive a slave of his or her freedom if they lived in the South.
C. the Missouri Compromise was illegal because it was illegal for Congress to deprive a slave owner of property (slaves) without the due process of law.
D. the Missouri Compromise was illegal because it freed slaves in the slave states.v
The answer is D. Because since he was already a slave in the South when he moved up North with his owner to a free state he was still a slave because he was a slave already and it was up to the owner if he wanted to let his (property free)
