It prevented West Virginia from being formed out of the territory of Virginia, but they did it anyway. It prevented all the slave "property" in all the southern states to be seized without "due process", but they did it anyway.
They simply ignored the Constitution when it suited their interests, and demanded strict adherence to it when that suited their interests.
and in the U.S. in December 1865 once the 13th Amendment was ratified.
And another example of where they ignored constitutional law. In order to pass an amendment, you have to have *CONSENT* from 3/4ths of the states.
They created a fake "puppet" consent by using occupation armies to force states to vote for this amendment that they were *ORDERED* to vote for by Washington DC.
That is not how the constitutional amendment process works. Duress is false consent, and is therefore invalid.
They didn't care. They passed these amendments illegally anyways. Again, they ignored the constitution when they felt like it.
It did no such thing.
It prevented all the slave "property" in all the southern states to be seized without "due process", but they did it anyway.
It did no such thing.
They simply ignored the Constitution when it suited their interests, and demanded strict adherence to it when that suited their interests.
The truly sad thing is that you obviously believe that. And not amount of rational discussion is ever going to dissuade yourself from your biased opinions.
