The US Constitution is an amoral document, meaning that it is neither moral or immoral. The US Constitution is simply a governmental charter which gives people the right to constitute their own government. Whether this government does moral actions or immoral actions is entirely contingent on the people who behave by right of that charter. Morality and ethics are determined by an entirely distinct moral process (be it religious exegesis or secular moral systems) than anything in the US Constitution.

Is to label Sophist as amoral saying that they are immoral?
Yes. Our sense of the word comes from Plato and Aristotle, who despised the Sophists of their day on the grounds that they used their skills to make the worse thing appear to be the better thing. Sophists incurred the loathing of all future generations for espousing the doctrine that might makes right. Amoral and Immoral are two different things. To be immoral means you are knowingly without morals, you are going against a moral code belonging to the society to which you are part. To be amoral means to have no understanding of any moral code, you are without morals. A child may steal because they have no understanding or education that it is wrong to do so (amoral), an adult who belongs to a society with a moral code and knowingly steals is immoral. The Sophists were amoral within their own society so cannot be considered immoral, although they may have appeared so to people from a different society.
