The Ruling
Scott was not a citizen and could not sue for being a slave. He thought that he could be free since he moved from a free state to a slave state, hethought that he wouldnt have to be a slave then... So he protested, and got rejected, They said he was property and couldnt be switched. I agreed wit the judge, because even though he came from a free state he souldnt be free in a slave state... he shoudlve stayed in the free state. -
