Actually the Dred Scott decision was nullified by actions taken during and after the Civil War.

That being said, it's still relevant to this discussion since the Justices of the day ruled that the Constitution, AS WRITTEN, did NOT provide a right for African-Americans to be considered citizens (remember, at the time Native-Americans were not considered citizens either because of how the courts had interpreted the wording of the Constitution).
