Thousands of starlings fly together to make an enormous bird.<\/a> by Gage Li

“The sum of the whole is, that of our thirty-nine fathers who framed the original Constitution, twenty-one\u2014a clear majority of the whole\u2014certainly understood that no proper division of local from federal authority, nor any part of the Constitution, forbade the Federal Government to control slavery in the federal territories; while all the rest probably had the same understanding. Such, unquestionably, was the understanding of our fathers who framed the original Constitution; and the text affirms that they understood the question \u201cbetter than we.\u201d”
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Now, and here, let me guard a little against being misunderstood. I do not mean to say we are bound to follow implicitly in whatever our fathers did. To do so, would be to discard all the lights of current experience\u2014to reject all progress\u2014all improvement. What I do say is, that if we would supplant the opinions and policy of our fathers in any case, we should do so upon evidence so conclusive, and argument so clear, that even their great authority, fairly considered and weighed, cannot stand; and most surely not in a case whereof we ourselves declare they understood the question better than we.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If any man at this day sincerely believes that a proper division of local from federal authority, or any part of the Constitution, forbids the Federal Government to control as to slavery in the federal territories, he is right to say so, and to enforce his position by all truthful evidence and fair argument which he can. But he has no right to mislead others, who have less access to history, and less leisure to study it, into the false belief that \u201cour fathers who framed the Government under which we live\u201d were of the same opinion\u2014thus substituting falsehood and deception for truthful evidence and fair argument.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
