Question

in scott vs. sanford the supreme court ruled that based on the 5th amendment slaves were to be considered
○ property
○ money makers
○ unworthy
○ free to leave

Explanation:

In the Dred Scott v. Sandford case, the Supreme Court ruled that slaves were considered property under the 5th Amendment (due to the "takings clause" regarding property and the lack of citizenship for slaves). The other options ("Money Makers", "Unworthy", "Free to Leave") do not align with the historical ruling—slaves were legally classified as property, not as people with rights to leave or be seen as unworthy/money - making in this legal context.

Answer:

A. Property
