Dred Scott v. Sandford | Homework Help from the Bill of Rights Institute

The Dred Scott v Sandford case of 1857 was brought to the Supreme Court just four years before the start of the Civil War. Dred Scott sued his master for his freedom and Judge Robert Taney ultimately ruled two things in the Dred Scott decision. First, African Americans were not citizens and had no right to sue in court. Second, Congress did not have the constitutional authority to ban slavery from the states. This case is considered one of the worst rulings in the history of the Supreme Court.

    i think the court ruled correctly but should have used better language. it was not the courts place to decide the issue of slavery. they ruled correctly about property though. it was congress or more likely the state's responsibility to rule about the issue of slavery. keep in mind this court case would have never made it very far at all if it wasn't for the fact that scott's original owners paid for his lawyers.

    exactly taney and i pronounce the name correctly unlike the narrator. was right about certain things. he did have a good argument. his argement was that "slaves" are not citizens because they are property. and you can bring your property anywhere and it is still your property. it was not the supreme court's job to end slavery. that belonged to congress if you were a federalist and that belonged to the individual states if you were a democrat.

    Wisconsin was a territory, not a state, which is an important point. The MO Comp. 1820 prohibited slavery in territories, which is why Taney deemed it unconstitutional (Congress has no power to determine laws in territories). Nevertheless, the ruling was an overstep of SC power; once Taney ruled Scott had no right to sue, the case should have been shut, yet he went on to make further rulings in order to strengthen the institution of slavery. And it's pronounced "Tawney" btw. Fun fact, Taney swore Lincoln in as president just before Lincoln bashed this decision in his inaugural address. Taney died just a couple weeks before slavery was abolished in his home state of Maryland.

    You failed to mention that Illinois was a free state in which Dred Scott also lived before he relocated to Wisconsin and sued for freedom afterwards. therefore, Congress had power to rule on the case. No need to analyze whether Wisconsin should have been a free territory or not in this case.
