Most of them had slaves and were dependent on them. Incorrect. Only 3 of the 7 founding fathers were slave owners. There were 7 founding fathers of the US Constitution: Franklin, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Jay, Madison, and Hamilton. 3 were slave owners (Washington, Jefferson, and Madison all from Virginia). 3 were not (Adams, Jay, and Hamilton) In fact they were adamantly against slavery. Franklin became an abolitionist after the Constitutional Convention in 1785 and freed both his slaves.
The founding fathers from Virgina (later a confederate state) were pro-slavery. The others from New York or Massachusettes were against slavery. This initial philosophical contradiction during the founding of the US wasn't resolved until 80 years later during the US Civil War.
It is really not a question of justification, as slavery was not illegal. Perhaps the question should have been asked in moral terms rather than legalities.
Many of the Founding Fathers had slaves and knew that way of life. Change is always hard to follow through when it affects you personally.
They didn't have to, They were just not interested in giving their hard earned cash to England who by now had nothing practical to offer them.

The Founding Fathers included the Necessary and Proper Clause in the U.S. Constitution, to provide Congress with the ability to meet the needs of a changing country. The clause is found in Article One.
States that didn't allow slavery were called Free States.
