1850, Senate. Resolutions concerning federal Constitution
|
|
1850 Senate resolution which claimed the right of secession under the federal Constitution, but indicated that this was an extreme step. The resolution further warned that the recently enacted fugitive slave bill should not be altered in Congress, as slaves were property and the federal government had a duty to protect property for the citizens. The resolution also stated that there was an injustice done to the slave-holding states by allowing California into the Union and that steps needed to be taken to protect slaves taking into a non-slave holding states and territories.
