I'm making sense, and right on the history too. But if I'm in a discussion with someone that can only handle so much, intellectually, what then? If you want to continue the discussion I would ask that you do me a favor. Answer a few questions, that is.
Have you read Blackstone? Do you know who James Otis was? What was George Mason's position on slavery? James Madison's?
have I read Blackstone?
No, im not even sure what or whom Blackstone is.
James Otis was a Massachusetts politician.
George Mason was a Virginian Anti-federalist and slave owner, although he found the institution repugnant.
James Madison anther Virginian and life long slave holder who was like George Mason apauled by the Institution of slavery although he saw fit to do little about it.
I fail to see how any of this has anything to do with the topic at hand.
A man’s position on slavery has nothing to do with the incorporation of the federal “bill of rights” upon the States which did not even begin under Federal Tyrant in black robe Edict until 1925.
