Answer of Col King to Monticello Interrogatories 1836
The document states Col Thomas Butler King asserts Congress has no constitutional power to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia or U S territories. He pledges to oppose abolition petitions and explains that cession of District power was wrongly assumed by Virginia and Maryland legislatures. He argues the Constitution reserves no broad legislating power over ceded districts and cites amendments on personal security and private property.
