What 3 rules did slaves have according to the Slave Codes?

Slave codes were laws concerning the treatment of enslaved human beings. The codes gave slave owners absolute power over their slaves. Depending on the state, masters even had the ability to kill without any legal repercussions. Any type of punishment, no matter how brutal was considered warranted if it was believed a slave had â??resistedâ??. In some states such as North Carolina, the killing of a slave, if it was not done in resisting or under moderate punishment was considered murder. Others made it illegal to mistreat a slave. If convicted in Louisiana, the slave would be sold to another, hopefully less brutal master.
