The right of a man to own property - including slaves - as laid down in the Constitution.
And the 'Once free, always free' provision about slaves who lived in a free state.
Scott had been taken by his master to a free state, where he could have claimed his freedom automatically. But he left it till he was back in a slave-state, and the local courts had never been faced with this situation before. That is why it reached the Supreme Court.
