The Unconstitutionality of Slavery 1845 was a pamphlet by American abolitionist Lysander Spooner advocating the view that the U.S. Constitution prohibited slavery. This view was advocated in contrast to that of William Lloyd Garrison who advocated opposing the constitution on the grounds that it supported slavery. In the pamphlet, Spooner shows that none of the U.S. state state governments of the slave states specifically authorized slavery, that the U.S. Constitution contains several clauses that are contradictory with slavery, that slavery was a violation of natural law , and that the intentions of the Constitutional Convention have no legal bearing on the document they created. Thus, Spooner s position is one that employs original meaning styled textualism and rejects original intent styled originalism .
