Can anyone else think of another state whose constitution explicitly enshrines the right to enslave people?
It’s possibly the oldest Democratic constitution, seeing as it’s both based on English common law and Democratic. That being said, it doesn’t mean it’s good… It has provisions to allow it to be updated or replaced for a reason
But it allows for slavery extremely awkwardly - it’s so obviously at odds with every point the document makes
