That slavery was legal in every state of the Union, because when the Founding Fathers declared that a man's property was sacred, they would have regarded slaves as property.

The Founding Fathers would likely have differing opinions on the topic. Jefferson, for instance, would feel the Supreme Court is abusing its power; he even felt judicial review overstepped Constitutional limits. Others, however, such as Hamilton and Madison, were (and would probably be) more open to the decisions the Supreme Court has made.

What did the dred Scott decision do to the constitution?
It was not a change to the Constitution. It was an interpretation of one clause that impacted on the slavery question - the statement that a man's property was sacred. The Supreme Court decided that the Founding Fathers would have included slaves within their definition of property. Therefore, slavery was legal in every state of the Union.
