Why does the court say that the petitioning party in this case had no right to sue for his freedom?

The correct answer is C) because he is “of the African race” with enslaved ancestors

The court said that the petitioning party. in this case. had no right to sue for his freedom because he is “of the African race” with enslaved ancestors and he is not considered an American citizen and therefore, had no right to sue in court.

We are referring to the case Dread Scott v. Sanford of 1857. A slave petitioned for his liberty in a court in St Louis Missouri, because he used to live in a segregated territory but his owner had moved to a free territory and then he should not be considered a slave.

In one excerpt of its decision, the Court established that: “a free black of the African race whose ancestors were brought to this country and sold as slaves is not a ‘citizen’ within the meaning of the Constitution of the United States.”

The other options of the question were, a) because he is too young, b) because he is from a different state, and c) because he is within his owner’s jurisdiction.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
