Chief Justice Roger B. Taney read the majority opinion of
the Court, which stated that black people were not citizens of the United
States and, therefore, could not expect any protection from the federal
government or the courts; the opinion also stated that Congress had no
authority to ban slavery from a federal territory. The decision was
overturned by the 13th and 14th amendments to the Constitution, which
abolish slavery and declare all persons born in the United States to be
citizens.
