Garrison and some other Abolitionists considered the Constitution to be pro-slavery and they condemned it. Garrison once burned a copy of it to emphasize the point.

Frederick Douglas read the Constitution and after he read the 3/5 clause regarding representation and taxation he declared the Constitution an Anti-Slavery document, which of course it is.

However, my point remains, there is but one Constitution.
