The word "slave" does not exist in the constitution until the 13th amendment in 1865. You may be thinking of the Fugative Slave Act of 1793 and 1850, but not something from the US Constitution. http://www.usconstitution.net/constnot.html#slavery The following link may have to be copied and pasted in two parts to work properly. http://www.cliffsnotes.com/WileyCDA/LitNote/Narrative-of-the-Life-of-Frederick-Douglass.id-84,pageNum-52.html
