Leaning Right: "The Constitution certainly did not enshrine slavery.
There is no clause anywhere in the Constitution explicitly protecting the practice."

DiogenesLamp: "Time to wake you up.
Article IV, Section 2 is specifically about protecting slavery."

Yet again, the issue here is that word, "enshrined".
So far as I know it was first introduced by jeffersondem many threads ago, and today continues to appear long after jeffersondem himself has apparently come to eschew it.
And the reason is obvious: there's no "enshrining" of slavery in the Constitution, as in: to hold in reverence or even worship.
"Enshrining" is reserved for such phrases as,

"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are Created equal, ...endowed by their Creator..."

That's "enshrined", slavery was never "enshrined" it was never even explicitly mentioned, rather it was snuck in the back door under false pretenses, like a man bringing his mistress home for a dalliance, hoping nobody would notice.

They noticed.

“That's “enshrined”, slavery was never “enshrined” it was never even explicitly mentioned, rather it was snuck in the back door under false pretenses . . .”

That is an interesting comment about the constitution of the United States being founded on "false pretenses."

May we see your data on that?
