Samson Rhodes · Answer 2

C). That African American people were not part of the group considered citizens by the Constitution.

Explanation:

The key claim that Justice Taney makes in this passage is that 'constitution failed to recognize the African American People as the citizens and they are rather being 'subjugated by the dominant race.' Despite the liberation from the racist activities, they still 'remained subject to their authority' constitutionally and thereby, unable to enjoy the rights and privileges like other citizens of the United States. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
