* GovernmentConspiracy: It eventually comes to light that both the Constitution and Bill of Rights removed from public records following JFK's assassination, and once Hoover became president, he held office for 22 years (thanks in part to publicizing an abridged form of the Constitution).
* ISurrenderSuckers: Variation: Moments before the Sliders leave, they negotiate with the cops to have Judge Nassau and the co-conspirators pardoned and released from jail in exchange for the unabridged Constitution... except, once they slide out, it turns out Wade had set up a computer to broadcast a copy of it over the Internet.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: After reporting Judge Nassau's near-murder to the police, Wade and Quinn learn about the conspiracy surrounding the Constitution, causing them to realize they had inadvertently given President Lyndon [=LaRouche=] the opportunity to consolidate his power and end civil rights in the United States.
