Lysander Spooner was a political thinker, a lawyer, an anti-slavery activist, and much more. Libertarians cite him as one of the key nineteenth-century figures in their tradition. But although some libertarians know about his work No Treason, few are familiar with The Unconstitutionality of Slavery, the main topic of today’s episode.
