"No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in Consequence of any Law or Regulation therein, be discharged from such Service or Labour, but shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due." Art. 4, Sec. 2, Cl. 3.

[nc] Slavery was wrong in both documents.
And why was that clause put into the Constitution in the first place?
At whose insistence?
Why it was the Souths!
And do not forget the 3/4 rule also, where the South demanded that their property was also counted for purposes of representation.
Note also we never used the word slave, like the Confederates did!
We hoped to eventually end slavery, a goal that the South found repulsive.
Moreover, the Southern Constitution also mentioned the race that was to be enslaved (negro).

Must have been you guys copied it with a few changes to justify your slavery. [nc] Slavery was wrong in both documents.
