, not just white liberty or american liberty, but human liberty. americans read the constitution through the prism of the declaration of independence, in particular the ideal of all men are created equal and they read it quite literally as all men, not all white men, are endowed with a natural right of self ownership and are entitled to legal it civil protections of the natural right, among other things. according to this view, the constitution recognized slaves not as property, but as legal persons entitled to certain basic rights, applied to the u.s. federal system this meant that the u.s. government rested on what abraham lincoln called a foundation of human rights and operated on a legal presumption of freedom, that is to say all persons should be presumed to be free regardless of skin color. slavery was said to be a state institution, that is instituted, regulated and abolished by the states alone, hence the republican party's slocum, freedom national, slavery sectional. and crucial to understand and the slavery politics is the ephesus in anti
