Answer:

Congress had exceeded its authority in the Missouri Compromise

Step-by-step explanation:

The Court ruled in the Dred Scott decision that Congress had exceeded its authority in the Missouri Compromise because it had no power to forbid or abolish slavery in the territories west of Missouri and north of latitude 36°30′.
