The Unconstitutionality Of Slavery is a book written by Lysander Spooner in 1845. The book argues that slavery is unconstitutional and that the United States Constitution does not permit the ownership of one person by another. Spooner, a lawyer and abolitionist, uses legal reasoning to support his argument, citing various clauses in the Constitution that he believes prohibit slavery. He also critiques the Supreme Court's decision in the Dred Scott case, which upheld the legality of slavery, and argues that it is not binding on the American people. The Unconstitutionality Of Slavery is a significant work in the history of abolitionism and the fight against slavery in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
