There was no contradiction. Although the word "slave" nowhere appears in the Constitution prior to the 13th amendment, the original text implicitly acknowledged and protected the existence of the institution. A clear distinction was made between free persons and "other persons" or "persons held to labor". Michael Montagne

What was their main focus in the constitution?

The main focus of the constitution was the organization of the government. The founding fathers recognized the need for a congress to make decisions that, unlike the Articles of Confederation, did not need to be unamious. They also saw the need to solve problems that existed between the states. Then there was the need for an administration that would remain in operation and functioning when congress was not in session. The founding fathers set up the constitution so the administration would function under the leadership of congress. It is still possible. It just has not happened for 214 years.
