Question
which was found to be unconstitutional based on the supreme court’s ruling in scott v. sandford?
○ the compromise of 1850
○ the kansas - nebraska act
○ the fifth amendment
○ the missouri compromise
In the Dred Scott v. Sandford case, the Supreme Court ruled that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional. The Missouri Compromise had prohibited slavery in certain territories, but the Court held that Congress lacked the power to do so, as slaves were considered property and the Fifth Amendment protected property rights. The Compromise of 1850, Kansas - Nebraska Act, and the Fifth Amendment itself were not the ones found unconstitutional in this ruling.
