You claimed this argument was wrong, but you put forth the exact same argument regarding the Confederate Constitution.
You understand the necessity of allowing "free states" when it comes to the Confederate constitution, but you absolutely and unequivocally refuse to understand that this exact legal concept also applies to the US Constitution.
If it isn't in there, it doesn't exist. "Free States" were illegal in the US, right from the beginning. They demand a "special case" consideration for "property", without being explicitly clear on the point that this sort of "property" was an agreed to exception.
And George Washington more or less ignored these "free state" laws.
Right, the President of the 1787 Constitution Convention didn't understand his own document!
Nor did the "father of the Constitution", James Madison.
Nor did the author of the most Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton.
Nor did even anti-Federalists of the time, like Patrick Henry, who opposed ratifying the Constitution -- even slaveholder Henry never claimed the Constitution forbade abolition!
Nor did 1860s Fire Eater secessionists -- not one claimed the Constitution outlawed abolition, only that Northern abolitionists made Union impossible.
Nor have any other Lost Causers I've ever seen here showed such chutzpah as to claim our original Constitution outlawed abolition!
Only DiogenesLamp, amazing.
