Younger Pinckney claimed a lot of credit for writing the Constitution, and he is acknowledged to have inserted the fugitive slave clause into it.

And all the states of the Union voted for it.

quoting BJK: "Younger Pinckney claimed a lot of credit for writing the Constitution, and he is acknowledged to have inserted the fugitive slave clause into it."

DiogenesLamp: "And all the states of the Union voted for it."
