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 allow for the practice of slavery. Spooner uses legal reasoning and historical evidence to support his argument that the Constitution was intended to protect individual rights and freedoms, including the right to be free from slavery. He also critiques the Supreme Court's decision in the Dred Scott case, which upheld the constitutionality of slavery in certain circumstances. The book is a significant contribution to the abolitionist movement and the ongoing debate over the role of the Constitution in protecting individual rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
