Waldstreicher explores the critical role of slavery in shaping the U.S. Constitution, challenging the notion that it was merely an overlooked issue. He highlights that while the document does not explicitly mention slavery, several clauses directly address the interests of slave owners and reflect the intense debates among the framers. This examination reveals that slavery was integral to both the Constitution's creation and its function, underscoring its significance beyond economic considerations.
