Book excerpt: Excerpt from Views of American Constitutional Law: In Its Bearing Upon American Slavery The main views I have presented will assuredly be condemned, - and in that condemnation I read the sure presage of their prevalence. - They will be condemned, in this selfish and bewildered world, because they are true, and they will ultimately triumph, for the same reason. The popular suffrage may determine whether they shall be received in time to prevent the wreck of the present Federal Government: - but it can no more decide against their final reception than it can decide against the final reception of any other truths of science, physical or moral. There is immortality in Truth. But all lies are doomed. Up to the month of May, 1772, it was as currently believed in England, that the slaves held and sold there, were thus held and sold, legally, and in accordance with the British Constitution, as it is now believed that the slaves held and sold in the United States of America, are thus held and sold, legally, and in accordance with the American Constitution. But the decision of Lord Chief Justice Mansfield, in the case of James Somerset, at the date above mentioned, revolutionized the jurisprudence of the realm, overthrew ancient precedents, reversed venerated decisions - and inscribed beneath the cross of St. George, on the royal flag - "slaves can not breathe in England And what was the secret of that mighty revolution? - It was this.

Book excerpt: This eBook edition of "The Unconstitutionality of Slavery" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. "The Unconstitutionality of Slavery" is a book by American abolitionist Lysander Spooner advocating the view that the United States Constitution prohibited slavery. This view was advocated in contrast to that of William Lloyd Garrison who advocated opposing the constitution on the grounds that it supported slavery. In the pamphlet, Spooner shows that none of the state governments of the slave states specifically authorized slavery, that the U.S. Constitution contains several clauses that are contradictory with slavery, that slavery was a violation of natural law, and that the intentions of the Constitutional Convention have no legal bearing on the document they created.

Download or read book The US Constitution of 1791 and the Fugitive Slave Clause written by Norman Coles and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US Constitutions, both of 1788 and 1791, contain at Article IV (para 2, Section 3) a clause generally called The Fugitive Slave Clause. This Clause was held to make it legal to both recapture and return fugitive slaves to the states where they had lived or the owner, even if he or she resisted. The Clause was held to be constitutionally legal by lawyers and legal commentators. Even Lincoln as a lawyer thought the Clause was constitutionally legal, even though he thought slavery evil. Norman Coles presents arguments which show that the Clause has at least two (and possibly three) meanings. The Clause may not refer to slaves at all, when it is interpreted in accord with its actual phrasing rather than its intended meaning promoting the wishes of owners. Alvan Stewart, a renowned Abolitionist lawyer, argued that the Clause was inconsistent with that part of the 1791 US Constitution which is Amendment IV, reasoning premised on the definition of person, which applied to the two dated Constitutions; and with regard to the Fourth Amendment (1791) where slavery (unless a result of crime and jury trial) was illegal under US law. Stewarts arguments are about Constitutional principles, not the practical consequences of believing the Clause was law. Stewarts reasoning is penetrating; arguments relating to ambiguity and legal jargon are superseded by the logical consequence of the fact that if the Clause is about fugitive slaves, its legality rests on false assumptions. Herein lay the potential to avoid an historical tragedy. In the course of time legal and political champions, in conjunction with a growing number of US States, favoured laws which barred slave-hunting, but in the interim legal inadequacy resulted in the unnecessary continuation of slave-holding. This publication is a fundamental reconsideration of the intertwining of American History and American Constitutional Law.
Download or read book A Sketch of the Laws Relating to Slavery in the Several States of the United States of America written by George McDowell Stroud and published by . This book was released on 1856 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Philadelphia judge's work is an essential reference for the library for slavery. It analyzes the law of slavery in each state, including the mid-Atlantic region; and reviews constitutional provisions bearing on slavery. The first edition, issued in 1827, is substantially updated to reflect the sea-change in Southern thinking, which now regarded slavery as a positive good rather than a necessary evil. Issued at the height of the Kansas-Nebraska controversy, its new material on slavery in the Territories, the fugitive slave laws, and slavery's interference with the First Amendment is particularly significant. A shorter, 125-page version was also issued in wrappers in 1856. -- Bookseller.
Download or read book Reflections on Slavery and the Constitution written by George Anastaplo and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012-01-16 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this insightful book about constitutional law and slavery, George Anastaplo illuminates both how the history of race relations in the United States should be approached and how seemingly hopeless social and political challenges can be usefully considered through the lens of the U.S. Constitution. He examines the outbreak of the American Civil War, its prosecution, and its aftermath, tracing the concept of slavery and law from its earliest beginnings and slavery’s fraught legal history within the United States. Anastaplo offers discussions that bring into focus discussions of slavery in Ancient Greece and within the Bible, showing their influence on the Constitution and the subsequent political struggles that led to the Civil War.
