Fugitive Slave Clause & 3/5 Compromise (1788) (20 апр 1788 г. – 20 фев 1865 г.)

Описание:

"The United States Constitution is ratified with two provisions applying to slavery.

Article IV, Section 2, Clause 3 allowed a slave who flees to another state (even a 'free state') to be returned to the owner in the state from which the slave escaped. This is the so-called Fugitive Slave Clause.

Article I, Section 2, Paragraph 3 determined how slaves would be counted on the U.S. Census. Population determines such issues as a state's delegates in the House of Representatives and certain taxes. The 'Three-Fifths compromise' determined a state's population would include all free persons and three-fifths of its slaves."
