The fugitive slave clause was in the United States Constitution - an enumerated power of the federal government. Of the original 13 slave states, 13 of them voted to place the fugitive slave clause in the United States Constitution.

Look it up.

If you mean applying constitutional law as written, then yes, they were.

The fugitive slave act requires exactly the same thing as Article IV, section 2 of the US Constitution.

They only created the fugitive slave act because states were deliberately ignoring the requirements of Article IV, section 2 of the US Constitution.
