The argument by supporters of the Fugitive Slave Law that the Constitution and laws passed by Congress should be obeyed is valid.
<h3>What was the Fugitive Slave Law?</h3>
The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was the Congress act that required that runaway slaves should be returned to their owners by force.
The Fugitive Slave Law was part of the Douglas Compromise of 1850. Through the act, the federal government became responsible for:
- Finding
- Returning
- Trying
- Fining escaped slaves.
Since Congress is responsible for making laws and amending the Constitution of the United States, any laws that it passes must be obeyed.
However, Congress should never be engaged in passing unjust or discriminating laws, especially the likes of the Fugitive Slave Law.
Thus, the argument by supporters of the Fugitive Slave Law that the Constitution and laws passed by Congress should be obeyed is valid.
