The Douglas Amendment. The following is the Douglas amendment, which really formed the basis of the bill for admission: “It being the true intent and meaning of this act not to legislate slavery into any state or territory, nor to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States.”
