What claim does Taney make in this passage? As a citizen of Missouri, Sanford can pursue a case against Scott. The Missouri circuit court does not have jurisdiction in the case against Sanford. Scott should pursue his case against Sanford in a state other than Missouri. Scott is a citizen of the United States, but not of the state of Missouri.

i would say that these are the two thesis statements best for a literary analysis essay on recurring themes in shakespeare's romeo and juliet:

1.  in romeo and juliet, shakespeare demonstrates that love comes in a variety of forms, be it romantic, familial, or between friends.

2.  shakespeare explores the struggle for identity through the character of juliet in his play romeo and juliet.

the other theses aren't reoccurring in this play.
