Answer:

It gave rights to African Americans. It denied slaveholders the right to their. property without due process.

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′.
