Slave laws passed in virginia in 1750 said that slaves were private property and

Could be bought and sold.

Explanation:

Virginia was a state where Slavery was legal, and it was even defended by their constitution, where negroes had little to no chance to become free, and had no chance to become normal citizens, they couldn´t gather publicly, nor held meetings, sense of community was also forbbiden and they couldn´t vote, in the legislation they included the clear division for servants and slaves, and how slaves were private property and as private property they had owners that could sell them or trade them.

the answer is true sir

the punishment for breaking the law would depend on the conditions or the seriousness of the law being broken, if he or she breaks the law while doing some great discovery or invention then it would classify as a scientific fraud. there are other words to describe the crime but scientific fraud would be the harshest one.
