It was not a change to the Constitution. It was an interpretation of one clause that impacted on the slavery question - the statement that a man's property was sacred.

The Supreme Court decided that the Founding Fathers would have included slaves within their definition of property. Therefore, slavery was legal in every state of the Union.
