The correct response is:
**The Dred Scott decision declared that African Americans were not citizens, so the amendment defined citizenship to include them.**
The Dred Scott v. Sandford decision of 1857 ruled that African Americans, whether free or enslaved, could not be considered citizens of the United States. This ruling highlighted the need for a constitutional amendment, which ultimately led to the Fourteenth Amendment being passed in 1868 to define citizenship and ensure that all individuals born or naturalized in the United States are citizens, regardless of race.
