A sharp, historical critique of how the Constitution handles slavery and interpretation.

This nonfiction work interrogates Spooner’s legal rules and shows how they would apply to the Constitution’s treatment of slavery. It tracks the author’s arguments, compares them with established court decisions, and spotlights how words like “free” and “slaves” have been understood in early American law. The discussion also surveys state constitutions, especially South Carolina, to illustrate how antebellum lawmakers recognized and managed the system of slavery.

Explains Spooner’s interpretation rules and the author’s own criticisms.

Examines Supreme Court language and how “intention” is understood in constitutional texts.

Analyzes historical census data and representation to illuminate the politics of slavery.

Shares historical examples from early state constitutions to ground the argument.

Ideal for readers of abolition-era legal debates, constitutional history, and Wendell Phillips’s published work.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the foundational legal concepts regarding slavery in the United States Constitution. The author analyzes the language and intent of the Constitution, particularly the infamous three-fifths compromise, to argue that slavery was never legally established under the document. Through meticulous examination of legal principles and historical context, the book challenges the prevailing interpretation of the Constitution as a pro-slavery document. It asserts that the original intent of the founding fathers was to leave the issue of slavery to the individual states, and that the Constitution itself contains no clauses that explicitly establish or endorse the institution. By presenting a rigorous legal analysis and a fresh perspective on the historical record, this book aims to reshape our understanding of the legal framework surrounding slavery in the United States. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330978283_0
