Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book argues against the constitutionality of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793, a piece of legislation originating from the infamous Fugitive Slave Clause of the US constitution. The author argues that the Act is in fundamental violation of the Constitution due to its lack of due process and the violation of habeas corpus. The book delves into the history of slavery and freedom in America, placing the act within the context of the debate between states' rights and individual rights. The author provides significant historical context and legal precedent to support the case against the Fugitive Slave Act, which was widely controversial and enforcement of which led to the deaths of multiple freedom seekers. They conclude that the Act was a violation of constitutional principles designed to protect vulnerable populations and was successfully overturned as such. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of slavery and the ongoing fight for justice and freedom in America.
