Some of Frederick Douglass's fellow abolitionists thought the Constitution was worthless — a document that gave us slavery, not worth the paper it was written on.

Douglass disagreed. David French tells the story on our latest episode: Douglass argued the Constitution's real lineage runs through the Declaration, through human equality and human dignity, and he wasn't giving that up. David says every excluded group in American history has clawed its way into "we the people" the same way — by appealing to the founding, not abandoning it. Full conversation with Russell Moore in bio.
