I'm not sure which way to go with this question so I'll let some one more capable than myself answer the constitutionality of slavery. What I do know about Slavery and it's end, is that; 1st, The Civil war was NOT fought about Slavery, rather about the State's Rights in the federal system. 2nd, Abraham Lincoln did NOT abolish slavery because it was the morally justifiable thing to do; rather it was to cripple the southern economy, to stimulate business in the northern states.
Taking a potshot at why the Constitution did not abolish slavery, is because it directly avoids those nuances and terms. It may not seem like it, but there are a lot of ways to spin "All Men are Created Equal". The Constitution is just a proclamation of the sovereignty of a nation, it does not always translate to policy. It forces a double entendre, saying one thing and doing another. Also, in those days, it is feasible that the conservative (Liberal) [Federalist] Party was a highly christian faith, and because in the bible it has slavery shed in a limelight. That's what I can think of for the constitutions impotence.
