How did the decision of the Dred Scott case help inspire the 14th amendment?

The Dred Scott decision of 1857 denied citizenship to enslaved people and affirmed that Congress could not prohibit slavery in the territories, highlighting the need for constitutional protections for African Americans.

In response, the 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, was crafted to ensure citizenship and equal protection under the law for all persons born or naturalized in the U.S., directly addressing the grievances highlighted by the Dred Scott case. Thus, the case served as a catalyst for constitutional change aimed at securing civil rights.

Prior to and during the Dred Scott case, only the lawyer who represented him gave him any help. The Supreme Court ruled that no African Americans, whether free or enslaved, had citizenship in the United States, a decision that enraged abolitionists and empowered slave holders. After the decision, Scott's owner married an abolitionist, who persuaded her to return Scott and his family to his original owners. By this time, his original owners were also anti-slavery, and he and his family were freed.
