The Unconstitutionality Of Slavery is a book written by Lysander Spooner in 1845. The book argues that slavery is unconstitutional, and that the Constitution of the United States does not permit the practice of slavery. Spooner argues that the Constitution is a contract between the people and the government, and that the government has no right to violate the terms of that contract, including the prohibition of slavery. He also argues that the Constitution’s guarantee of individual rights and liberties, such as the right to life, liberty, and property, makes slavery illegal. Spooner’s book was an important contribution to the abolitionist movement in the United States, and helped to shape the legal and moral arguments against slavery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
