The words "slave" or "slavery" do not appear in the U.S. Constitution. You can't put them there.

Yet there are references to servitude under the law in what is undeniably a recognition of slavery in clauses pertaining to slavery. Slavery is indisputably in that document and your buddy made a fool of himself by claiming that any country with a constitution containing anything that recognized the institution of slavery could not be good in any way.
