    B. Whether African Americans, both enslaved and free, had basic citizenship rights

    Explanation:

    Dred Scott was a slave in the state of Missouri, he moved to other states at the same time slavery was forbidden by the Missouri Compromise of 1820. With that, he filed a suit in the Missouri court asking for his freedom since he resided in a free territory.

    The US Supreme Court decided that African Americans free or slaves were not considered American citizens and could not file lawsuits in a federal court and his case was dismissed.
