Question

Why did the framers of the Constitution leave the slavery issue unresolved?

Slavery was legal in all of the colonies in the Constitutional era, and few prominent Americans wanted that to change.

The Constitution was ratified by people who overwhelmingly supported slavery; no one expected it to develop into a conflict.

The Founding Fathers did not agree on slavery and knew the Constitution would not be accepted unless the issue was avoided.

The participants in the Constitutional Convention decided to avoid any discussion of slavery altogether. @Compassionate @jim_thompson5910

Answer 5

The US Constitution dealt with slavery by avoiding the issue altogether and putting it off for 20 years. It does not mention the word slavery even once. Article 1, Section 9 says that Congress cannot pass any law regarding the migration or importation of such persons as the states think proper until the year 1808. This referred to slaves and the slave trade. Also, Article 5, which permits amendments to the Constitution, prohibited amendment of Article 1, Section 9 until 1808, thus ensuring that slavery would continue for at least twenty years. There would be no arguments until 1808, leaving the next generation to fight it out.
