Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Lysander Spooner's 1845 work presents a compelling argument that slavery is unconstitutional, asserting that the U.S. Constitution prohibits such practices as it is a contract safeguarding individual rights, including life, liberty, and property. He contends that the government cannot violate this contract, making slavery illegal. This influential text played a significant role in the abolitionist movement, shaping both legal and moral arguments against slavery. The book is available as a facsimile reprint, preserving its cultural significance.
