Respuesta :

It will be ¨A slave was not a citizen but rather the property of an owner¨¨

Afican american people were not entitled to be his fredom in any form and they could never be US citizens.

The correct answer is the third.

The Dred Scott case is considered a black mark in the history of the US Supreme Court.

The controversial case deals with the history of a slave who had his citizenship refuted by the court. The understanding of the ministers at the time was that "imported" people and their descendants would not be citizens protected by the Constitution and could not even have access to justice.

It is a case that portrays the cruel 19th-century slavery mentality in which black people were considered a commodity of marketable capital.
