Republicans feared that the Supreme Court might use its power of judicial review to declare the Civil Rights Act unconstitutional. In the Dred Scott decision of 1857, the Court had ruled that African Americans were not citizens. To avoid a similar ruling, Republicans proposed the Fourteenth Amendment. It defined citizens as "all persons born or naturalized in the United States." (The amendment did not apply to most Native Americans.) It guaranteed citizens "equal protection of the laws" and forbade states to "deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law." Thus, states could not legally discriminate against a citizen on unreasonable grounds, such as race. The Fourteenth Amendment was proposed in 1866. Use the passage to answer the question.
Reread the paragraph from the text about the Fourteenth Amendment: According to this passage, how did the Dred Scott decision help inspire the Fourteenth Amendment?

A. The amendment was meant to ban slavery, which the Dred Scott decision supported.
B. The Dred Scott decision gave the Supreme Court the power to review laws, which the amendment ended.
C. The Dred Scott decision gave citizenship to Native Americans, but the amendment gave states the right to decide who is a citizen.
D. The Dred Scott decision declared that African Americans were not citizens, so the amendment defined citizenship to include them.
