Chief Justice Roger Taney declared the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional, declaring Congress had overstepped its authority in forging agreements that would be binding on future states. Taney said Congress could make anti-slavery laws for US Territories, but the states had the sovereign authority to decide whether to allow slavery within their borders. He wrote the opinion in that 7-2 decision.
He further stated that the "once free, always free" doctrine that allowed slaves living in free states to be emancipated permanently violated the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment by depriving the slave owners of their property without due process or compensation.
In the Dred Scott decision a slave was taken up north to a "free state," according to the Missouri Compromise, and then brought back down to a slave state. Dred Scott felt that by entering a free state should be free from slavery, but on the ruling the Dred Scott decision ruled that slaves are considered property and can be taken anywhere therefore nullifying the Missouri Compromise.
