Question

which amendment did the supreme court cite in dred scott v. sandford?
the fifth amendment (protection against losing property without due process)
the first amendment (the right to free speech)
the second amendment (the right to bear arms)

Explanation:

In the Dred Scott v. Sandford case, the Supreme Court cited the Fifth Amendment (protection against losing property without due process). The Fifth Amendment's due - process clause was relevant as the Court considered issues related to the property status of slaves and the deprivation of property (in the form of slave ownership) without due process. The First Amendment is about free speech, and the Second Amendment is about the right to bear arms, neither of which were relevant to this case.

Answer:

The Fifth Amendment (protection against losing property without due process)
