The U.S. Constitution originally protected slavery through several clauses, including the Three-Fifths Compromise, which counted enslaved individuals as three-fifths of a person for congressional representation, and the Fugitive Slave Clause, which mandated the return of escaped enslaved people. These provisions reflected the political compromise between slaveholding and non-slaveholding states, aiming to maintain the Union. Additionally, the Constitution did not explicitly prohibit slavery, allowing it to persist and expand in the United States until the Civil War and the eventual adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment.

equal representation
The compromise between those favoring slavery and those advocating for abolition primarily manifested in political agreements that attempted to balance the interests of slaveholding and non-slaveholding states. Key examples include the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state while admitting Maine as a free state to maintain a balance in Congress, and the Compromise of 1850, which included the controversial Fugitive Slave Act. These compromises aimed to reduce sectional tensions but ultimately failed to resolve the underlying moral and political conflicts, leading to increased polarization and the eventual Civil War.
