The "Emancipation Proclamation" was no more law than was the "Declaration of Independence". And the latter was the OPPOSITE of a declaration of "revolution". Regardless one's political position, ignorance of history and law is despicable. Knowing the difference between law, and everything else, is crucial. And from there knowing the degrees of authority in the several levels of law is essential.

@thomasbraeking6225 You don't understand either document because you've never read them. Neither document was law when written, and have never been law. And their purposes are not understood by those who haven't bothered to READ them: The "Emancipation Proclamation" applied ONLY to the states that refused to law down their arms. The LATER Civil War Amendments are not the "Proclamation". The "Declaration of Independence" applied EXCLSIVELY to ENGLAND -- its authors were not declaring independence from themselves, or their gov'ts -- the colonists all along controlled the colonial gov'ts. And they were not calling for or asserting a "right" to revolution". Instead, contrary to the false assumptions about it, it is an assertion of the RULE OF LAW as being paramount. Examples from the "GREIVANCES" at its end, against by name King George III, are these: "He has kept among us, in Times of Peace, Standing Armies, without the consent of our Legislatures." Legislatures MAKE LAWS; LAWS REGULATE. "He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power." The entire legal tradition that eventuated in the Constitution and "Bill of Rights" PROHIBITED, as does the Constitution, any form of "independent" or "private" military force, because such are a threat to GOV'T, which gov't is by definition RULE OF LAW. AGAIN: neither the "Emancipation Proclamation" nor the "Declaration of Independence" have ever been LAW. LAWS are made by LEGISLATURES, with the concurrence of the Executive.

@thomasbraeking6225 Amendments of and to the Constitution are not separate from the Constitution. They are as relevant as al the rest of the Constitution, exactly as every Article is equal to every other. Problems result from the effort to separate "rights" -- the perceived substance of the "Bill of Rights" -- from RESPONSIBILITIES. The Constitution is ONE document, not two.

@thomasbraeking6225 There is no deflection. There are three distinct documents in this issue: the "Declaration," which has never been law, the "Emancipation Proclamation," which has never between law, and the Constitution, which is the law of the land. What you don't know is the legal history and contexts of the "Declaration": nothing it is was new; whatever "legal" assertions it "declared" ALREADY EXISTED in ACTUAL law. The sources of the Constitution and "Bill of Rights" were prior LEGAL history -- actual LAW evolved and elaborated from the founding of the several colonies through to the 170s and the adoption of STATE constitutions, which were the direct sources for the Constitution and "Bill of Rights". So it was neither "Declaration" nor "Proclamation" that was "codified" in the Constitution; it was existing principles of ACTUAL LAW which pre-existed both of those documents.

@thomasbraeking6225 had the principles in the "Declaration" and "Proclamation" been "codified" in the Constitution, it would not change the status of the "Declaration" and "Proclamation" as NOT BEING LAW. I have an education in law. We don't fuzzily pretend that "everything" is law, and that there are no lines of authority between that which is law, and everything else that isn't. The two "GRIEVANCES" I quoted from the "Declaration" were from EXISTING ACTUAL LAW. You'll find them in statutes and state constitutions the pre-existed the "Declaration".

Owning slaves was capitalism and economic freedom -- for the owners of the slaves -- and the "Bible"/"religion" was used to justify slavery. Exactly as the right-wing "Christians" -- like Mike Johnson -- assert that slavery was/is "God ordained".
