Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Objections to the Act of Congress, Commonly Called the Fugitive Slave Law Answered: In a Letter to Hon. Washington Hunt, Governor Elect of the State of New York Sir: I propose to reply to the five objections which have been most frequently made to the Act of Congress of September 18th, 1850, commonly called the Fugitive Slave Law. My object is to remove doubts as to the constitutionality, legality and propriety of this Act from the minds of good citizens, who are sincerely seeking the path of duty. I shall therefore use language, certainly legal, but as little as possible technical. First Objection. That the Fugitive Slave Law deprives persons of the right of Habeas Corpus, and that therefore the Act is unconstitutional and illegal. Reply. The right of Habeas Corpus is a right of a prisoner, in certain cases, to be taken before a magistrate, in order that the legality or illegality of his imprisonment may be investigated and decided by the magistrate. This right is confirmed by Section 9th, Article 1st, of the Constitution of the United States, in which it is declared that "the privilege of the writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when, in cases of rebellion or invasion, "the public safety may require it." This right is also confirmed by Section 4th, Article 1st, of the Constitution of the State of New York, and by the Constitutions of all the several States of the United States. The right of Habeas Corpus is not mentioned in the Magna Charta of Great Britain, though it is claimed as a right at common law.
