1.63 Against the Traffic of Mens-body

Resolution set forth in 1688

A 1688 colonial assembly, with a resolute speaker standing at a podium, holding a document titled "Against the Traffic of Mens-body," passionately advocating for the end of human trafficking, as lawmakers and community leaders sit in thoughtful silence, considering the ethical implications.

“Though the Earth, and all inferior Creatures be common to all Men, yet every Man has a Property in his own Person. Thus no Body has any Right to but himself.”

~ John Locke; Two Treatises of Government (1689), Second Treatise of Government, Ch. V, sec. 27
