Answer:

(B) & (E)

Explanation:

Dred Scott vs John F.A. Sandford was a legal case in which Supreme Court of the USA ruled on March 6, 1857, that a slave who had resided in the free state was not entitled to his freedom and therefore, African American could not be considered as citizens of the U.S. It also invalidated the Missouri Compromise. That decision further aggravated the already tense sitution in the country and almost pushed the country closer to a civil war.

Answer 2

B. It invalidated the Missouri Compromise.

E. It ruled that African Americans could not be considered citizens of the U.S

Explanation:

• "Dred Scott" versus "Sandford", was an "crucial decision" of the "US Supreme Court". The case whereinthe court had ruled that "American citizenship" for "Black men", whether "enslaved or free", was "not covered" by the US "Constitution" and that the "freedoms and privileges" bestowed upon "US citizens" cannot be "extended" to "black people"
• The decision "was taken" concerning an "enslaved Black Man" named "Dred Scott" whose owner "(the stanfords)"had taken him to the "Missouri Territory" from Missouri ("a slave state"), "most parts" of which were declared ""free"" "territories" under the "Missouri Compromise", 1820. When his "owners" brought him back to "Missouri" "afterwards", Scott had fought for his "freedom & argued" that he was "immediately freed" since he was taken to the "free" "US territory & technically was "no longer a slave".
• Scott first "sued" at the "State Court in Missouri", which ruled that "under its law" he was "still a slave". He then appealed at the "US federal court" which had ruled that the Missouri law "would be applicable" to his case. Then he "appealed" to the "US Supreme Court".
• But the court has stated that all "Africans, slave/free", do not have the right to "sue" before the "federal courts". Furthermore, he wrote that "Fifth Amendment that safeguarded" the "rights of slave owners" since slaves were their "legal property"
