PLEASE ANSWER IM TIMED

The Dred Scott case was a major event on the road to the Civil War. The Supreme Court's ruling was a provocative opinion. It stated flatly that Blacks had "no rights which the white man was bound to respect" and rejected the right of any territory to ban slavery within its own borders.

The answer is D b/c they basically denied him his rights and told him that someone's property cannot sue and said that just because he lived in a free state doesnt make him free.
