John Rutledge, a prominent American statesman and a delegate at the Constitutional Convention, held pro-slavery views. He believed that slavery was essential for the economic prosperity of the Southern states and advocated for its protection in the Constitution. Rutledge argued that slavery was a "positive good" and expressed strong opposition to any measures that would limit or abolish the institution. His stance reflected the prevailing attitudes of many Southern leaders during that era.
John Rutledge was a Federalist.
yes
He signed it in Philadelphia in 1787.
No, because since his state (South Carolina) favored slavery and the rights that the "Bill Of Rights," state. So why would he and his state want to be against it? So my recently stated answer is, NO.
