It explores the debates that were held in the various state conventions as the constitution was ratified. It includes the text of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 and analyzes several legal cases that were tried under it. The author brings to light the complex and sometimes paradoxical legal issues resulting from the effort to balance the protection of individual liberty with the recognition of property rights in persons under a constitutional system created by a nation founded on the self-evident truth that all men are created equal.
