Nothing outlawed it. It only says that the US Congress can't grant titles of Nobility. "No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State." They can grant land and stuff, but they can't grant you that. There is the Magical "Kingdom", KY Kingdom, and all kinds of stuff here. There is a Statue of King Louis the 16th in Louisville. NATO has a symbol of King Philip on it and a State's star next to it representing the Monarchy of a State. Ever heard, "The King's Word is Law," that is because Royalty has the laws crammed down their throats since the day they're born. It is a misconception. The Louisiana Purchase was named after King Louis the 16th, and Napoleon lost you know? He was drugged to death on an island. It doesn't say of a foreign state it says or a foreign state. Whatever.
(Someone else's answer) Because the Founding Fathers wanted this to be a nation "of the people, by the people and for the people" devoid of the trapping of Monarchy.

The second clause of the Declaration of Independence states that "...all men are created equal...." The was a directed attack on blood-line royalty. The purpose of "nobility" is to stratify the application of law. Certain royalty classes by blood-line had exemption from some laws or additional priveleges.
For example from the tale of Robin Hood we learned that Robin could not take deer from the noble's forrest and from history that King's could have people (including wives) executed at their sole discretion.
Today we see the defacto and unconstitutional, in my non-judicial opinion, granting of a title of nobility by Congress when they exempt themselves from laws that apply only to we surfs. Exemptions from the Affordable Care Act for example. Also, by selective enforcement of the our laws the DOJ and FBI in effect grant nobility to certain levels of government officicials and hold them above the law. This, by the way, unequal or unjust enforcement of the law is a definition of tyranny.
