The whole Constitution is polluted with measures to appease slave holders.
And also to appease the so-called founders like Madison that did not like democracy very much.
Yeah, no double jeopardy, ex post facto laws, or bills of attainder; what the fuck?
No double jeopardy for who?
Those with the means to bring their matters into fancy courts?
The Constitution was written to protect the fortunes of the people who wrote it.
Even if those fortunes consisted of owning and torturing humans.
They wrote good protections for themselves and the expansion of these protections, against the wishes of the rich, to all people, has been a good thing.
