Description: The Black Code, which was supposed to curb the abuses of masters with regard to their slaves, only had the effect of codifying black slavery and trafficking, justified, at that time, by the Church and the philosophers. Through its sixty articles, the hypocrisy of the legislator transpires who, while pretending to consider the humanity of the black slave, presents him, on a purely legal level, as a commodity subject to the laws of the market and a good that is part part of a domain.
