Natural Law and the Antislavery Constitutional Tradition

Natural Law and the Antislavery Constitutional Tradition In a series of case studies, Dyer reconstructs the arguments of prominent antislavery thinkers such as John Quincy Adams, John McLean, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. What emerges is a convoluted understanding of American constitutional development that emphasizes the centrality of natural law to Americas greatest constitutional crisis.
