Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report on the Deliverance of Citizens Liable to Be Sold as Slaves, 1839 House of Representatives. The undersigned, a minority of the Joint Special Committee, appointed under an order of the House, to inquire into the expediency of providing for the deliverance of citizens of this Commonwealth, who may be imprisoned and liable to be sold as slaves, asks permission to submit the following Report. The fourth article of the Constitution of the United States contains this provision: "The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states." "This provision in the Constitution," says Judge Story, in his Comm. vol. 3, p. 647, "is plain and simple in its language, and its object is not easily to be misunderstood. Connected with the exclusive power of naturalization in the general government, it puts at rest many of the difficulties which affected the construction of the articles of confederation.
