
In what is perhaps the most
infamous case in its history, the
court decided that all people of
African ancestry -- slaves as well as
those who were free -- could never
become citizens of the United
States and therefore could not sue
in federal court. The court also
ruled that the federal government
did not have the power to prohibit
slavery in its territories. Scott,
needless to say, remained a slave.
