Dred Scott and the Problem of Constitutional Evil, first published in 2006, offers a new interpretation of the constitutional law and politics of slavery. The Taney Court's conclusions that former slaves could not be American citizens and that slavery could not be banned in American territories was a plausible interpretation of the antebellum constitution.
