What about the constitution and bill of rights? That honestly feels like something an anti fascist would write to prevent a fascist from taking over.

When I read about fascism, though, it is never about owning slaves. It’s more about how the government treated its citizens/media/economy/etc. Maybe it’s something they did, but owning slaves was not what made them fascist.
