Answer 1

c

Answer 2

The Dred Scott decision contained two key elements. Chief Justice Taney ruled that under the law, slaves were not people but property. Although this concept seems outrageous to present-day students, it did not create the kind of outrage that the other part of the decision created. The text notes that Taney ignited a political powder keg by denying Congress's authority to limit slavery in the territories. This was the portion of the decision that caused a national outcry. Although northerners were not united on the humanity of slaves, they were becoming increasingly united around the idea of stopping the spread of slavery.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
