The 14th amendment overruled the supreme court case of dred scott vs. sandford. the landmark supreme court case determined which of the following points? a. slaves could not be citizens b. non-landowners could not be citizens c. blacks could not be citizens d. all persons born or naturalized in the united states vary differently in citizen status.

Dred Scott is often considered the worst ruling ever handed down by the Supreme Court. Jurists lament its poor logic to start with.  Basically what it determined is that free or slave, African Americans could not sue in a federal court and that the Federal government did not have the power to ban slavery in the territories.

What is tortured here is the idea of freedom. The colored, even the "free," were denied citizenship.

The problem with C is that it is true, but C leaves undefined what status they actually did have. What does FREE mean?
