I think the correct answer is option B. Most southern political leaders praised the supreme court decision in dred scott v stanford because it protected the property rights of slave owners in the territories.

Scott was a slave who migrated along with his family to another state soon after his master died. As he was then again enslaved by his master's wife and soon after she got married again, scott and his family were then handed over to her brother. Who then had issue regarding payment of scott's wages.

Explanation:

As the complaint filed against the sander's was in a state, which had no such rules which attributed slaves as free people, rather they were considered as property of the person who purchased them from the market available. So, that is why sander's was not willing to pay his wages.Along, with that the court ruled that the congress lacked the power to ban slavery in the United States. Along with that as per the fifth amendment, the slave owner's rights were protected by the law.As congressmen in the south considered the decision ordered by the court as constitutionally correct and truly with in law of the system. Along with that most of the congressmen were in the favor of the white slave owners, and for that the fifth amendment in the constitution also favored them and protected their rights.
