Was the Constitution pro-slavery? Name four reasons to back up your position.​
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Yes it was

Explanation:

The Constitution gave the federal government the power to put down domestic rebellions, including slave insurrections.

The framers of the Constitution believed that concessions on slavery were the price for the support of southern delegates for a strong central government.

The Constitution  protected slavery by increasing political representation for slave owners and slave states

They were limiting, stringently though temporarily, congressional power to regulate the international slave trade and by protecting the rights of slave owners to recapture their escaped slaves.
