A person's property cannot be taken away without due process.
Explanation:
On March 6,1857, the United States Supreme Court ruled(7-2) in a Sandford, legal case that a man named Dred Scott who was a slave and who lived in a complimentary state and area ( it was one of those place where slavery was not allowed at all) was not designated by that to his freedom.
Dred Scott later won the Dred Scott vs Stanford case after he sued his master's widow for his rights and freedom.
