    In Dred Scott v. Sanford, the Supreme Court ruled that Americans of African descent, whether free or slave, were not American citizens and could not sue in federal court. The Court also ruled that Congress lacked power to ban slavery in the U. S. territories.

    Explanation:

    Sandford, legal case in which the U. S. Supreme Court on March 6, 1857, ruled that a slave (Dred Scott) who had resided in a free state and territory (where slavery was prohibited) was not thereby entitled to his freedom; that African Americans were not and could never be citizens of the United States.
