He HAD to make rules because, as usual, humans are too dense to understand appropriateness without being given a rule book. They can't just reason that rape, torture, beatings for beatings sake, murder, and the like aren't acceptable - even for slaves.
A slave was someone who owed a debt, or someone who had to work for a living. If you were not born with livestock, precious metals, and/or into a wealthy family, you had to work. Often, this was in the form of slavery.
Biblical slavery is a misnomer because it is coupled with its contemporary - which is nothing less than a human rights atrocity perpetuated for greed, justified by religion and "science."
The United states was part of the Crown Company/Virginia Company whose purpose among other things was to give 50% to the Crown. I am talking about the States being owned by the
Crown Temple. Are you talking about the American Revolution liberating people from the crown? That was also a farce. The states were not founded by a bunch of puritans trying to escape religious freedom. The entire operation was a well-funded expansion similar to Manifest Destiny. The puritan/freedom of religion was a deceptive anchor to get manpower to join the people responsible for this British Manifest Destiny. It was a simple political distraction to make the people feel like they are actually choosing to do something that was planned for them from the beginning.
The reality is that in the 18th century, the "conflicts" were red herrings for the truth: the U.S. was being set up as a corporation subject to British maritime law.
Look at your 2010 Census envolope: I saved mine. You will notice a "registered" symbol next to UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The country has always been a corporate (and now military) arm of the Crown.
