This is a primary source from gale collection. This source tells that our fathers left an inheritance of Liberty to their prosperity and scanned for them the whole field of political action but no where did they leave on record the instruction of a code to guard their followers against offering them the indiguity of charges, implicating them in the character of villains rather than that of patriots in regard to slavery.

a journal article from jstor. This article is written by an author Robin L. Einhorn about Patric Henry's Case. This article shows that Patrick Henry rose for his last-ditch efforts to persuade the Virginia convention to reject the proposed constitutional of the United States. Virginia's most famous oratar pulled out the steps to defeat the constitution by arguing that northners would use the new powers of congress to abolish slavery in Virginia. This article shows that Henry's idea that slaveholders were the only ones with an interest in slavery's future was obviously short- sighted although the racism that allowed him to ignore the interests of African Americans was replicated largely in the North. The Constitutional would institute majority rule at the national level allowing simple majorities in the House of Representations and Senate to pass laws as long as the president did not veto them.
