Abstract
- The article focuses on abolitionist, Frederick Douglass's intellectual journey, particularly his evolving perspectives on the U.S. Constitution. It delves into Douglass's early experiences as a slave, his education, and mentors such as William Lloyd Garrison. It explores Douglass's relationship with the Constitution, initially viewing it as proslavery under Garrison's influence, but gradually transforming into an antislavery constitutionalist.
