The master may determine the kind, and degree, and time of labour to which the slave shall be subjected -- 2. The master may supply the slave with such food and clothing only, both as to quantity and quality, as he may think proper or find convenient -- 3. The master may, at his discretion, inflict any punishment upon the person of his slave -- 4. All the power of the master over his slave may be exercised not by himself only in person, but by any one whom he may depute as his agent -- 5. Slaves have no legal rights of property in things, real or personal, but whatever they may acquire belongs, in point of law, to their masters -- 6. The slave, being a personal chattel, is at all times liable to be sold absolutely, or mortgaged, or leased, at the will of his master -- 7. He may also be sold by process of law for the satisfaction of the debts of a living or the debts and bequests of a deceased master, at the suit of creditors or legatees -- 8.

The means for oral and religious instruction are not granted to the slave; on the contrary, the efforts of the humane and charitable to supply these wants are discountenanced by law -- 5. Submission is required of the slave, not to the will of his master only, but to that of all other white persons -- 6. The penal codes of the slave-holding states bear much more severely upon slaves than upon white persons -- 7.
