Answer
Brief Explanations:
In the Scott v. Sandford case, Dred Scott argued that since he had lived in areas where slavery was prohibited by the Missouri Compromise, he should be free. The Kansas - Nebraska Act, Fugitive Slave Act, and Fourteenth Amendment were not the basis of his argument at the time of this case. The Fourteenth Amendment was ratified after the case.

the Missouri Compromise.
