what role did Charles Cotesworth Pinckney play at the constitutional convention?

he suggested a clause that would require the return of any runaway slave to the owner to protect the institution of slavery

he argued against ending the overseas slave trade in order to protect the economy and the way of life in South Carolina

he convinced other delegates that the president serve as commander in chief of the military in order to ensure a loyal force

he sought to give Congress unlimited power to regulate trade in order to strengthen the trade of the nation overall

Answer 1

Hey there,

Charles Cotesworth was pro-slavery and during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 he represented South Carolina and their delegates. The answer would be your first choice, but he not only suggested it, he insisted that a special "lawful slave return" clause be woven into the Constitution. This clause would require the capture and return of any runaway slave to their owner even if said slave was hiding in any state or territory.

Cheers
