William H Seward
William H. Seward, a New York senator, argued that the expansion of slavery was forbidden by a higher law based on natural rights and moral principles. He was a prominent figure in the anti-slavery movement and played a key role in the Republican Party's opposition to the spread of slavery in the United States.
Senator William Seward's doctrine, known as the "Higher Law" doctrine, argued that slavery should be excluded from the territories because it violated a moral law that was higher than the Constitution. He believed that moral principles were more important than legal statutes and that slavery could not be justified under any circumstances.
