A free negro of the African race, whose ancestors were brought to this country and sold as slaves, is not a “citizen” within the meaning of the Constitution of the United States. When the Constitution was adopted, they were not regarded in any of the States as members of the community which constituted the State, and were not numbered among its “people or citizens.” Consequently, the special rights and immunities guarantied to citizens do not apply to them. And not being “citizens” within the meaning of the Constitution, they are not entitled to sue in that character in a court of the United States, and the Circuit Court has not jurisdiction in such a suit. –Dred Scott v. Sandford, Supreme Court of the United States The Supreme Court concluded that, because African Africans were not citizens when the Constitution was adopted, they could not be considered citizens in this case. What type of fallacy does this piece of evidence represent? ad populum genetic fallacy begging the claim hasty generalization
