Answer: Dred Scott Descision

Explanation:

The Dred Scott decision was the Supreme Court’s ruling on March 6, 1857, that having lived in a free state and territory did not entitle Dred Scott, who was a slave, to his freedom. In essence, the decision argued that as a slave Scott was not a citizen and could not sue in a federal court.
