no. article one, section 8 shows all the powers of the congress. in there is the power....

"To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;"

"To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;"

this is the power to draft basically, if not draft then required services in some other form to the militia......

The Texans felt like most if not all Confederate states about the draft. They believed it went against the right of states which was one of the main reasons for the southern states split from the Union in the first place!
