The Constitution had no say in the writting about being pro slavery or not, because men had refused to sign it if it included on for or not for slavery. So it was left out of the Constitution, but it was added later when it was banned in the admendments.

∙ 13y agoYes. The United States Constitution specifically permitted slavery.
NO! The Constitution did not permit slavery. Frederick Douglass after reading the constitution he said,

The charge of a pro-slavery Constitution was "a slander upon [the] memory" of the Framers, he contended; "interpreted as it ought to be interpreted, the Constitution is a glorious liberty document." Consider "the constitution according to its plain reading," Douglass continued, "and I defy the presentation of a single pro-slavery clause in it. On the other hand it will be found to contain principles and purposes, entirely hostile to the existence of slavery."
