Slavery is indisputably contained in the US Constitution. Does that make the US Constitution "in no way correct"?

B.S.! Your comparision is false on its face.

Just where is slavery mentioned? Show me. No nods and winks, I mean the incorporation of slavery as a practice enumerated in the U.S. Constitution.

Show me! I'm waiting.
