Slavery & the Constitution Failure at the Convention

Choose one of the following and respond in writing: “Maintaining slavery is like holding a wolf by the ears. You don’t like it, but you dare not let it go.” Thomas Jefferson “There was never any moment in our history when slavery was not a sleeping serpent. It lay coiled up under the table during the deliberations of the Constitutional Convention. Owing to the cotton gin it was more than half awake. Thereafter, it was on everyone’s mind though not always on his tongue.” John Jay Chapman

Slavery in the Constitution Article I, Section II – Three-Fifths Clause Article I, Section IX – Congress can’t pass laws outlawing slavery until 1808 Article IV, Section II – Fugitive Slave Law
