Is the Constitution a moral or immoral or amoral document?

The US Constitution is an amoral document, meaning that it is neither moral or immoral. The US Constitution is simply a governmental charter which gives people the right to constitute their own government. Whether this government does moral actions or immoral actions is entirely contingent on the people who behave by right of that charter. Morality and ethics are determined by an entirely distinct moral process (be it religious exegesis or secular moral systems) than anything in the US Constitution.
