What slavery law was established in 1857 by the Dred Scott Decision?

Question

Slaves traveling in free states remain enslaved.

Slaves traveling in free states are considered free citizens.

Answer 1

If this is a multiple-choice question, let's eliminate two possibilities immediately - I believe there has been no Supreme Court decision ever to cause slave settlements to be created.

So the decision was all about the status of slaves & former slaves.
After some interesting & amazing preliminary decisions, such as whether the federal court had jurisdiction of the case & whether the plaintiff had standing to bring the case at all, the court apparently found it appropriate enough to offer opinions & even to declare an act of congress unconstitutional.
In the end, the court ruled that descendants of African slaves - even if emancipated - could not be citizens of a state, had no legal standing to sue in federal court, and property of U.S. citizens remained their property (i.e. slaves) regardless of where they might travel.
