Options: No black person, free or enslaved, could be a US citizen.

There could be no legal ban on slavery in the territories.

The Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional.

Explanation:

Dred Scott being born under slavery, he resided in Illinois from 1833 to 1843, where slavery remains forbidden. Upon coming to Missouri, Dred Scott appealed for his freedom. The case reached the Supreme Court, where the Court declared him as a slave, thus rejecting African American as part of the US citizen. The tension further increases between the North and the South, where the Missouri Compromise became unconstitutional. The North was not happy with the court decision as they believed the case gave Southern slaveholders growing power.
