Although there was discussion about abolition during the drafting of the constitution, I am not aware of any provisions prohibiting slavery in any of the drafts of the constitution.
No, it was later modified after the civil war.

They did count slaves as 3/4 of a person for counting population for the House and that is about as far as they got with the issue. If they had the civil war may not have happened over a 100 years later.
