The Higher Law doctrine stated that slavery should be excluded from the territories as contrary to a divine moral law standing above even the Constitution. Senator Seward proposed this doctrine in 1851.
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.
Senator William Seward advocated for the exclusion of slavery from US territories as a way to ultimately eradicate the institution. He believed that by preventing the expansion of slavery, it would gradually diminish and lead to its abolition. This position was part of the larger anti-slavery movement in the mid-19th century, preceding the Civil War.
Social sanctions and taboos can shape educational planning by influencing the curriculum that is taught in schools. For example, certain topics or information may be avoided or excluded due to cultural taboos, impacting the completeness and accuracy of the educational experience. Additionally, social sanctions can limit opportunities for certain groups of students based on gender, race, or other social factors, thus affecting the equitable distribution of resources and support in education.
In many educational settings, evolution is taught as a scientific theory supported by evidence, while creationism is often excluded due to its religious nature. Some areas in the United States have faced debates about the inclusion of creationism in science curricula, but courts have consistently ruled against its mandatory inclusion in public school science classes.

It was known as the Freeport Doctrine.
U.S. Bill of Rights - As it was for land-owning white men only, the excluded would be women, African/Americans, non-landowners etc. U.K. Bill of Rights (1689) - gave Protestants the right to have arms for their defence and mentioned that "papists" bore arms and were employed "contrary to law", so I assume that Catholics were the people excluded(?)
