The US Constitution says absolutely nothing about capitalism. The only oblique reference to capitalism is in the Preamble where it has the phrase "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity". Liberty, when the US Constitution was written, referred to economic freedom to open, manage, and close businesses as well as freely shop at any business. So, the US Constitution was arguing that one of the key purposes of the US Constitution was to guarantee a free-market economy.
