Read the passage from the opinion of the court in Dred Scott v. Sandford, written by Justice Taney.

The question then arises, whether the provisions of the Constitution, in relation to the personal rights and privileges to which the citizen of a State should be entitled, embraced the negro African race, at that time in this country, or who might afterwards be imported, who had then or should afterwards be made free in any State; and to put it in the power of a single State to make him a citizen of the United States, and endue him with the full rights of citizenship in every other State without their consent? Does the Constitution of the United States act upon him whenever he shall be made free under the laws of a State, and raised there to the rank of a citizen, and immediately clothe him with all the privileges of a citizen in every other State, and in its own courts?

The court thinks the affirmative of these propositions cannot be maintained. And if it cannot, the plaintiff in error could not be a citizen of the State of Missouri, within the meaning of the Constitution of the United States, and, consequently, was not entitled to sue in its courts.

Why is Justice Taney’s argument ineffective?

He uses the freedom of African Americans as evidence.
He uses a previous status of African Americans as evidence.
He uses the dissenting argument of the court as evidence.
He uses the ruling of the previous court as evidence.

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Taney cannot deny Scott citizenship because it is a federal right.

Before the civil war, only white men with property could vote, and only white people could be United States citizens. African Americans that were born in the United States territory are all citizens, by the The 14th Amendment (1868). So a perfect  counterclaim to the claim in the excerpt would be the chosen one because his citizenship is a Federal right by The 14th Amendment.

In 3-5 sentences, explain one characteristic of a gothic theme present in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Bobby wanted to earn extra money, so his parents helped him get a job delivering papers. He had to wake up every morning at 5 a.m. to fold the newspapers. He would then pack them in the sack on his back and ride around the neighborhood, throw the paper on the driveways. A few times, his toss was off and the paper landed on the wet grass. He know he should probably return to the house and place the paper on the driveway, but his arm usually was accurate. He figured he could always pretend he did not notice – especially if no one complained. Bobby really did not like the job, but he forced himself to do it every morning. About three months into the job, he decided it was not worth the extra money. He told his boss that he wanted to quit, but offered to complete the last week of the month because he knew he would have to find a new delivery person.
