Why didn't the framers of the constitution write any provisions to end slavery into the constitution?

Slavery was economically and culturally entrenched in the southern states in the late eighteenth century. The southern States would not have supported the ratification of the Constitution if it had called for the end of slavery.

What is prohibiting before the fact called?
Prior Restraint. This is one of the main reasons the framers developed the first amendment of the constitution. Prior Restraint was very prevalent in the British Monarchy. When the framers established the constitution, they discussed many oppositions to British Law (one of which was prior restraint on expression). The only exception the framers eluded to was Seditious Libel (which they attempted to replicate [Alien and Seditions Act]. But it didnt pass)
Which features of the Constitution reflect a distrust of democracy. Who didnt the framers trust?
Nothing in the constitution shows a distrust of democracy. In fact, the very foundation of the constitution is based on the philosophy of democracy. The men who wrote it didn't trust that people could vote and make correct decisions about the government.
