B
All black people were subject to becoming enslaved.
C
There could be no legal ban on slavery in the territories.
D
The territories could retain their popular sovereignty.
E
The Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional.
Explanation
The Dred Scott decision ruled that Black people, whether free or enslaved, were not U.S. citizens and therefore could not sue in federal court. It also held that Congress could not ban slavery in the territories, making the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional. The ruling did not say that all Black people were subject to enslavement, and it rejected popular sovereignty as a way for territories to prohibit slavery.
