C
African Americans were not allowed to become US citizens.
D
Northerners feared that slavery would become legal across the nation.

Explanation
The Supreme Court ruled that Congress could not ban slavery in the territories and that African Americans were not citizens of the United States. It also declared the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional, so choice A is incorrect. Many Northerners feared the ruling could make slavery legal across the nation, while Southerners generally welcomed it rather than fearing slavery would end.
