dred scott vs sandford decision


cover page, contain a font size of 12, be paginated (page numbers), and have one inch margins. Indent the first line of each paragraph and do not quadruple space between paragraphs. The paper must be properly footnoted (endnotes are acceptable) with a bibliography attached (even if you use only one source). You may use additional outside readings/sources (no Wikepedia) to help support your analysis but remember that all outside materials are secondary to the information from the reader.

Appropriate citations will be expected for all materials. This means that even if you do not directly quote, citations are mandatory for all statements not part of the general body of knowledge.You must use the Chicago (or Turabian) style for citations and bibliography. Turabian does allow for parenthetical citations but be sure you are using that style. 
___
Based on the documents/evidence and secondary literature contained in Paul Finkelman's Dred Scott v. Sandford write an analytical paper that addresses the differing reasoning of the Justices, and the final decision of the Supreme Court. Be sure to address previous rulings by the Court that had bearing on this case, as well as, all the rationales on the part of the plaintiff in bringing this suit. Be sure to provide the historical context in which this case emerged.

Write a 1500 word (minimum) paper. This is not a suggestion but a requirement. Failure to meet the minimum word count will result in a significant point reduction. It should be typed, double-spaced, have a cover page, contain a font size of 12, be paginated (page numbers), and have one inch margins. Indent the first line of each paragraph and do not quadruple space between paragraphs. The paper must be properly footnoted (endnotes are acceptable) with a bibliography attached (even if you use only one source). You may use additional outside readings/sources (no Wikepedia) to help support your analysis but remember that all outside materials are secondary to the information from the reader. Please make sure there are correct foot notes written in the correct format
