From the Confederate States Constitution:
No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed
That’s true. They also had this one, which was cool:
20.Every law, or resolution having the force of law, shall relate to but one subject, and that shall be expressed in the title.
Of course, the U.S. Constitution in effect at the same time as the Constitution of the Confederate States said:
No person held to service or labor in one state, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.
“From the Confederate States Constitution: No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed
“
From the United States Constitution of the same time:
Slave Clause: Constitution: Article I. Section 9. Clause 1:
“The Migragation or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think prefer to admit, shall
not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be
imposed an such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.”
Slave Clause: Constitution: Article IV. Section 2. Clause 3:
“No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any Law or Regulation therein, be discharged from such Service or Labour, but shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due.”
Article V:
“The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.”
Article I, Section 2:
“3: Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.2 The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.”
We can go tit for tat all day long.
