No, the original U.S. Constitution did not outlaw slavery. In fact, it included provisions that protected the institution of slavery, such as the Three-Fifths Compromise, which counted enslaved individuals as three-fifths of a person for representation purposes, and the Fugitive Slave Clause, which required escaped slaves to be returned to their owners. Slavery was not abolished in the United States until the 13th Amendment was ratified in 1865.
