c. that scott is not a citizen of missouri
d. that sanford cannot sue because he is not a citizen
read the passage from the opinion of the court in dred
scotty. sandford, written by justice taney
the question then arises, whether the provisions of the
constitution, in relation to the personal rights and
privileges to which the citizen of a state should be
entitled, embraced the negro african race, at that time in
this country, or who might afterwards be imported, who
had then or should afterwards be made free in any state
and to put it in the power of a single state to make him a
citizen of the united states, and endue him with the full
rights of citizenship in every other state without their
consent? does the constitution of the united states act
upon him whenever he shall be made free under the laws
of a state, and raised there to the rank of a citizen, and
immediately clothe him with all the privileges of a citizen in
every other state, and in its own courts?
the court thinks the affirmative of these propositions

According to the given excert, it is clear that Scott was not a citizen of Missouri  (C)

Explanation:

According to friends and other people who were against slavery, pushed Scott towards going to court to fight to be free because he had lived in a free world. The courts in Missouri supported his idea to free him even though he would not known to write nor read and he did not have any money.

Ideally, this can be concluded that the judge always wondered if Scott should be regarded as an American citizen and if he should be allowed to live in Missouri or not since he did not have supportive documents.

C)

Explanation:

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.

the correct order is:

you're your own worst enemy:

they're going to say what they say, but

their opinions aren't holding you

back. it's your self-defeatist

attitude that's keeping your work

from getting its due.
