## Definition

A Fugitive Slave Clause claim refers to a legal argument based on the Fugitive Slave Clause of the United States Constitution, asserting that escaped slaves must be returned to their owners, even if they have reached a state where slavery is prohibited. It was a provision that supported the institution of slavery and compelled states to cooperate in the enforcement of slave owners' property rights.
