At the 1787 Constitutional Convention, supporters of slavery ensured it was protected by rule of law. The federal government upheld slavery until it was abolished by the Civil War; then supported the South's Jim Crow power structure. From Reconstruction through the Civil Rights era until today, veneration of the Constitution has not prevented lynching, segregation, voter intimidation or police brutality against people of color. In 2016, the Electoral College-a constitutional accommodation for slaveholding aristocrats who feared popular government-gave the presidency to the candidate who lost the popular vote by the widest margin in U.S. history. This book describes how pernicious flaws in the Constitution, included to legalize profiting from human bondage, perpetuate systemic racism, economic inequality and the subversion of democracy."-Provided by publisher"-- $c Provided by the publisher. 650 0 $a Race discrimination $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Discrimination in justice administration $z United States. 650 0 $a Constitutional law $z United States. 650 0 $a Civil rights $z United States. 650 0 $a Race discrimination $x States. $z United States $x States. 650 0 $a Civil rights $z United States $x States. 650 0 $a Equality before the law $z United States. 650 0 $a Slavery $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Racism $z United States. 650 7 $a Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862627 650 7 $a Civil rights $x U.S. states. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862695 650 7 $a Constitutional law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875797 650 7 $a Discrimination in justice administration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895100 650 7 $a Equality before the law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00914477 650 7 $a Race discrimination $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086474 650 7 $a Race discrimination $x U.S. states. $x U.S. states. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086478 650 7 $a Slavery $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120465 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526014250.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A12A45A6CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
