Publisher's Synopsis
Justice And Jurisprudence: An Inquiry Concerning The Constitutional Limitations Of The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, And Fifteenth Amendments is a book written by the Brotherhood of Liberty in 1889. The book is an exploration of the constitutional limitations of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. These amendments were adopted in the aftermath of the Civil War to protect the rights of African Americans and ensure their equal treatment under the law. The Brotherhood of Liberty was a civil rights organization founded in 1883 by African American leaders such as T. Thomas Fortune and Bishop Alexander Walters. The organization was dedicated to promoting the rights of African Americans and advocating for their full participation in American society. In Justice And Jurisprudence, the Brotherhood of Liberty examines the legal and constitutional implications of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. They argue that these amendments were intended to provide protection and equal rights for African Americans, but that their full implementation has been hindered by legal and political obstacles. The book also explores the role of the judiciary in interpreting and enforcing these amendments. The Brotherhood of Liberty argues that the courts have a duty to uphold the constitutional rights of African Americans, and that they should not be swayed by political or social pressures. Overall, Justice And Jurisprudence is a seminal work in the history of civil rights and constitutional law. It provides a detailed analysis of the legal and political challenges facing African Americans in the late 19th century, and offers a powerful argument for the full implementation of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
