Which was a provision of the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Scott v. Sandford case?

The Supreme Court ruled in Scott v. Sandford that African Americans, whether enslaved or free, were not citizens of the United States under its interpretation of the Constitution and therefore could not sue in federal court. It also treated enslaved people as property. Thus, the ruling said enslaved people were property and had no right to file a suit; it struck down the Missouri Compromise rather than upholding it.
