Explicación

## Step 1The problem is a multiple-choice question about the Scotts, a family who was involved in a significant Supreme Court case in the United States. The Scotts were enslaved, and they had to prove certain conditions to win their freedom.## Step 2The Scotts had to prove that they lived in a free territory or state. This is because the Dred which was the Supreme Court case that the Scotts were involved in, stated that a slave could not sue he was not a citizen. The Scotts had lived in a free territory or state to win their freedom3The Scotts also had to prove that they were not enslaved by anyone. This is because the Dred Scott Decision stated that a slave could not sue for his freedom in federal court because he was not a citizen. The Scotts had to prove that they were not enslaved by anyone to win their freedom.
