Sinopsis

This is Volume 1 of the 'Report on the Powers and Duties of Congress Upon the Subject of Slavery and the Slave Trade,' prepared by the Joint Special Committee of the Massachusetts General Court. Examining the constitutional authority of Congress to regulate and abolish slavery and the slave trade, this report offers a detailed analysis of the legal and political landscape of the pre-Civil War era. It presents arguments concerning the powers vested in Congress regarding these contentious issues, reflecting the debates and tensions that ultimately led to the conflict. The report serves as a valuable historical document for understanding the legal and moral perspectives on slavery during this pivotal period in American history. It illuminates the strategies employed by abolitionists and legal scholars to challenge the institution of slavery through legislative and constitutional means. 'Report on the Powers and Duties of Congress Upon the Subject of Slavery and the Slave Trade' is essential reading for scholars of American history, constitutional law, and the abolitionist movement.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
