Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the United States Constitution to demonstrate that slavery was never supported by its text. The author delves into the history of the fugitive slave clause, explaining that it was a political compromise that did not give Congress the authority to pass laws enforcing the return of fugitive slaves. The fugitive slave act of 1850, the author argues, is unconstitutional and should be repealed because it usurped power from the States and violated the right to trial by jury. The book adds to the abolitionist historiography of the time period, by examining legal arguments against slavery and demonstrating that it was never constitutional.
