The constitution did NOT provide for a fugitive slave law I suggest you reread Article IV, Section 2, paragraph 3 for a clearer understanding.But certainly you agree that the Fugitive Slave Law was constitutional?

I don't know if it was since there is no power delegated to Congress which would indicate it was constitutional. However, I have not done much thinking about that one
It is certainly hard to conclude it was using the logic which opposes most of the expansion of federal power. There was no consitutional means of upholding it with federal power that I see.
