Mason: Comments on the floor of the Senate regarding a bill respecting the "Surrender of Fugitive Slaves." January 28th, 1850. Subject The topic of the resource James Murray Mason, United States Senate, Fugitive Slaves. Description An account of the resource Considering the interests of his constituents, in particular the financial losses they suffered due to escaped slaves being closer to free soil than a vast majority of the other slave states, Mason sought to pass the Fugitive Slave Law in order to coerce the Northern States to more fully fulfill their Constitutional obligations (as he understood them) according to the <a href="https://www.senate.gov/civics/constitution_item/constitution.htm#a4_sec2">3rd clause, 2nd section, Article IV of the United States Constitution</a>. This bill would become known as the <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/fugitive.asp">Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, </a>and would be passed along with other pieces of legislation as part of the Compromise of 1850. Unsurprisingly, Mason maintained constant and unambiguous support for this legislation, despite the outrage and anger at the law from the free states of the North.

Subject The topic of the resource United States Senate, James Murray Mason, Slavery. Description An account of the resource Mason briefly elaborates on his understanding of slavery as a legal concept under Federal/Constitutional law. Slavery, preexisting the creation and authority of the Constitution, is according to Mason not created from its clauses, but merely recognized. This recognition being in force since its ratification, Slavery, according to Mason, has constitutional protection throughout the entire Union, thereby justifying southern opposition to Slavery's limitation and southern enthusiasm for legislation such as the Fugitive Slave Act.
