Abstract

Discusses in nine sections a brief study on the problem of slavery, the rule of law, and Constitutionalism. The author points out that systematic denials of equality tend to arouse fiercer opposition in the modern world than do systematic suppression of liberty. The author attempts to apply the enduring principles to the slavery question and related issues as they have manifested themselves in ancient times and in recent centuries, in this country and abroad.
