First 10 Amendments Essay

Were the US Constitution and its first ten amendments when it was first ratified in the beginnings of America for slavery or slavery? Perhaps the founders were looking into the future of their young, beloved country believed that slavery was not going to be around for the long term? I believe that the Founders of America believed that slavery was going to die a natural death. They believed that slavery was not going to be around for the eternity of the existence of America. Maybe the country was preparing to eliminate slavery, but they were not ready for the consequences quite yet? I believe that the first ten amendments of the Constitution were both antislavery and proslavery to an extent, yet this could depend on what amendment is being looked at as well. Depending upon on the amendment, the founders of the Constitution could be looking at the future of the country, yet they may not want any controversy Slavery was an issue that would become extremely important topic when it came to the concern for the future of America, but the Founders knew that slavery was not going to be around forever due to its controversy. The Constitution reflects this belief in its wording for the long term effects it would foresee to have on the country. I believe that the first few amendments in the Bill of Rights as pertaining to whether it is anti or pro slavery are making it so the citizens of the United States are free to say and practice what they want or need. The Founders wanted to make it so that when slavery was finally abolished, whenever that was to occur in the future, so that the amendments were already in place for the new citizens after slavery to be free. The changes could also be made to the Constitution when slavery was finally gone from the country. The United States was very adamant on becoming a free nation that tends to the needs of it citizens, so I believe that this was meant for all the people of the country that

    ...ious slaves the right to citizenship, meaning they were able to do anything that a normal citizen could do, for example hold seats of power. The Fifteenth amendment ensured that they were given the right to vote. However, the reason that their accomplishments were in vain was because they did not get rid of racism. Whatever advancement they made was taken back due to whites still believing in racism. After the Reconstruction era, the South feared an African American with power so they formed hate groups and technicalities to get around amendments. Even though the Fourteenth amendment ensured that slaves were given the right to citizenship, the whole ideal of “separate but equal” came into play. With the Fifteenth amendment, the South was able to justify the racist action of enforcing a literacy clause or a grandfather clause by writing it into their constitution.

  • Lincoln-Douglas Debate

    925 Words  | 2 Pages

    Abraham Lincoln's position on slavery was the belief that the expansion of it to Free states and new territories should be ceased and that it eventually be abolished completely throughout the country. He believed simply that slavery was morally wrong, along with socially and politically wrong in the eyes of a Republican. Lincoln felt that this was a very important issue during the time period because there was starting to be much controversy between the Republicans and the Democrats regarding this issue. There was also a separation between the north and the south in the union, the north harboring the Free states and the south harboring the slave states. Lincoln refers many times to the Constitution and its relations to slavery. He was convinced that when our founding fathers wrote the Constitution their intentions were to be quite vague surrounding the topic of slavery and African-Americans, for the reason that he believes was because the fathers intended for slavery to come to an end in the distant future, in which Lincoln refers to the "ultimate extinction" of slavery. He also states that the men who wrote the constitution were wiser men, but obviously did not have the experience or technological advances that the men of his day did, hence the reasons of the measures taken by our founding fathers.

    "The American constitution recognized slavery as a local constitution within the legal rights of the individual states. But in the North slavery was not adaptable to the local economy, and to many, it contradicted the vision of the founding fathers for a nation in which all men are to be free. The South considered slavery as a necessary institution for the plantation economy. It was linked to the local culture and society. As the United states expanded, the North worried that the South would introduce slavery into the new territories. Slavery had become both a moral issue and a question of political power." (Kral p61)

    It should be noted that the Declaration of Independence made it clear that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Although this progressive view was shared by many of the members of the Constitutional Convention, it is clear that the original text of the American Constitution is rather pro-slavery and up to a certain point protects the slave-owners. It is of utmost importance to note that the words slavery/slave are not used in the text of the Constitution.

    There was no significant desire among most delegates to abolish slavery during the 1787 Constitutional Convention. In addition, the focus of the convention was on forming a more perfect union, not dealing with the issue of slavery (Dolbeare, 71). Also complicating things was the concern among some delegates that putting too much weight on the issue of slavery might cause the unification process to fall apart. This resulted in the Constitution containing a series of compromises regarding slavery, and blatantly avoiding the issue of slavery.

  • The Second Amendment: Why It Is Important to Our Country

    On December 15, 1791, the Bill of Rights was ratified effective by Congress. These first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America promised the states certain rights and freedoms which could not be infringed by the government. After all, the founding fathers knew from experience that men in their weakness were often tempted by power. They had become all too familiar with this when under the control of King George in England. Therefore, in order to protect the future people of their beautiful country, they promised certain liberties which could not be taken away. Every single one of these freedoms is important for the United States of America. However, the second amendment is especially important to our nation because it allows the people to protect their freedom and defend themselves and the common good against an overreaching government.

  • Conservatism In The South Essay

    Even though other areas in the country did contain slavery, the south was the only region that maintained plantation slavery. Since the south was so involved and reliant on slavery, it was an area of the country that found its identity on more than just the Constitution and American ideals. At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, delegates, such as James Madison, noted that there was a clear division between the northern and southern states based on whom own slaves. Even in the early nineteenth century, the idea of the south existed in the minds of southerners and their identity was commonly founded in slavery. Since slavery was maintained for a great length of time and southern blood was shed to defend it, it was an identity that was passed down from generation to generation. This passing down of southern values would explain why distinct characteristics rooted in slavery continue to

  • The Great Compromise

    The Signers did not have much to say on the issue of slavery during this time. In fact, I don’t believe it is mentioned in the words of the Constitutions, rather clauses are in place that seem to touch on the issue of slavery. It may appear the Signers avoided the word altogether. As we know there were clauses included that held some important, rights for slaves and mainly what I can tell slave owners, on the issue of slavery. Although it would seem, at the time in history this was written, and normal way of life, to have offered some protection to slaves.
