Excerpt from The Constitutional Provision Respecting Fugitives From Service or Labor, and the Act of Congress
The Act of Congress of September 18, 1850, relating to fugitives from service or labor, rests for its supposed author ity upon a single clause in the Constitution of the United States. In gthe language Of that clause, we, accordingly, have an absolute test for the validity of this Act. If it does not perform what the clause requires to be done; or if it does what that does not authorise; it is unconstitutional. Let us, therefore, compare the provision of the Constitution and the provision of the Act.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the history of the Fugitive Slave Act and its impact on American society. The book begins by discussing the constitutional provision that allowed for the return of escaped slaves to their owners, then details the various statutes passed by Congress to enforce this provision. The author argues that these statutes were unconstitutional, as they did not provide for the proper delivery of fugitive slaves to their masters. The book also discusses the various ways in which the Fugitive Slave Act was resisted by both slaves and their allies, and the role that the Act played in the lead-up to the Civil War. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive and insightful look at one of the most controversial and important laws in American history.
