4. That the laws for the suppression of the African slave-trade and especially those prohibiting the importation of slaves in the United States, ought to be made effectual, and ought to be thoroughly executed; and all further enactments necessary to those ends ought to be promptly made.
Observation: This point in the article would make the slave trade easier as many restrictions came to an end. This would allow for people to transport slaves to and from Africa way easier and this would end all methods to slow the expansion of slavery. Context: This gave way for more slaves in America as there were previous limits and restrictions on the slave trade. This also helped southern slave owners by providing them with more ability to gain money and hurt northerners as there would be more competition to their factories in the north.
