Explore the deep roots of American constitutionalism with this groundbreaking analysis of the Antebellum era. Simon J. Gilhooley reveals how intense conflicts over slavery and abolition forged a lasting “spirit of the American founding,” profoundly shaping modern constitutional interpretation. Delve into how debates on slavery’s existence and the enslaved personhood articulated an influential, yet constraining, constitutional perspective. Essential for Indian students and scholars of US history, law, and political science, this book offers critical insights into how historical foundational ideas continue to define contemporary legal discourse.
