Descrição: Cambridge University Press, 2020. During the debates over Missouri's entry into the United States in the 1820s, those who favored restricting slavery from the new state argued that the American state was founded on the Declaration of Independence's timeless principles of human equality, and that the compromises made during the Constitutional Convention were historically specific to the states that existed during the time of the compromise. According to their interpretation, the Constitution departed from the founding spirit by institutionalizing slavery and should be amended to put the nation back on track.
