President Buchanan declared that slavery was banned in all territories. C. Stephen Douglas praised the court's affirmation of the doctrine of popular sovereignty. D. The decision in effect declared the Republican plan to restrict slavery's expansion unconstitutional. E. Dred Scott remained enslaved until his death.

The Scott vs Sanford case is one of the most important and recognized cases in history, one which played an important role in the onset of the Civil War. An African American man, Dred Scott along with his wife Harriet were first brought by Peter Blow who sold them to John Emerson who took them to Missouri. However, Emerson then left the Scotts with his brother Sanford where they resided in Illinois. While in Missouri, the Scotts were slaves, however, when they moved to Illinois, they were enslaved owing to its anti-slavery status. When they move back from Illinois to Missouri, they sued for their freedom in the federal court given that they had resided for long in an anti-slavery state. The ruling of the case stated that African Americans - enslaved or not, were not considered American citizens and hence could not sue. Not only did the court state that Scott was still a slave but that it also asserted that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional. While the ruling was not in their favour, the Scotts were eventually manumitted. However, the case became a foundation for the war against racism that America was to witness. From the options given, the following is true about the effects and aftermath of the 1857 Supreme Court case Dred Scott v. Sanford - All people born in the U.S. were now citizens regardless of race - This option is incorrect. This is so because according to the ruling, the African Americans were not recognized as American citizens irrespective of them being slaves or not. And so, there was discrimination based on race when it came to the matter of citizenship. President Buchanan declared that slavery was banned in all territories - This option is incorrect. This is so because President Buchanan was pro-slavery and his ideologies did have a direct influence on the ruling of the case. He did not work towards banning slavery. Stephen Douglas praised the court's affirmation of the doctrine of popular sovereignty - This option is incorrect. While Douglas's personal ideologies would have made him praise the decision, this did not have as much importance as the court declaring the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional. The decision in effect declared the Republican plan to restrict slavery's expansion unconstitutional - This option is correct. This is so because the ruling overturned the Missouri Compromise by calling it unconstitutional. Dred Scott remained enslaved until his death - This option is incorrect. This is so because Dred Scott and his wife were manumitted and he did not remain enslaved till death. And so, "The decision in effect declared the Republican plan to restrict slavery's expansion unconstitutional" is true about the effects and aftermath of the 1857 Supreme Court case Dred Scott v. Sanford.
