Taking on decades of received wisdom, David Waldstreicher has written the first book to recognize slavery's place at the heart of the U.S. Constitution. Famously, the Constitution never mentions slavery. And yet, of its eighty-four clauses, six were directly concerned with slaves and the interests of their owners. Five other clauses had implications for slavery that were considered and debated by the delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention and the citizens of the states during ratification. This 'peculiar institution' was not a moral blind spot for America's otherwise enlightened framers, nor was it the expression of a mere economic interest. Slavery was as important to the making of the Constitution as the Constitution was to the survival of slavery. By tracing slavery from before the revolution, through the Constitution's framing, and into the public debate that followed, Waldstreicher rigorously shows not only that slavery was actively discussed behind the closed and locked doors of the Constitutional Convention but also that it was deftly woven into the Constitution itself. Finding meaning in silences that have long been ignored, "Slavery's Constitution" is a vital and sorely needed contribution to the conversation about the origins, impact, and meaning of our nation's founding document.
批评“共和主义学派”和“进步主义学派”对宪法中奴隶制问题的回避,强调美国宪法pro-slavery的一面。 全书 共分为三个部分,亦可用三个“时刻”来概括。制宪会议前的“曼斯菲尔德时刻”(Mansfieldian Moment),阐述奴隶制如何作为英帝国的附属品进入美国,又如何因为曼斯菲尔德勋爵在Somerset v. Stewart案中的判决而成为美国宪制建构过程中所无法回避的问题;制宪会议上的“麦迪逊时刻”(Madisonian Moment),分析代表们在奴隶制问题上的一系列博弈以及麦迪逊主导下最后妥协的形成过程;宪法批准过程中的“人民的时刻”(People’s Moment),全景式地展现宪法对奴隶制问题的处理在全国范围内所引发的巨大争议。【可惜论点很坚硬,论据很柔软】

评分倒数第二章讲各州批准过程的部分没读……大概就是讲1787年宪法是一部pro-slavery的宪法,正是这样的宪法安排页促使内战爆发。

评分最后一章跳跃性太强,有点乱
