The correct response is:

**The Framers did not address the morality of slavery, but rather addressed it as an issue of representation.**

This reflects the compromise made during the Constitutional Convention, particularly the Three-Fifths Compromise, which counted enslaved individuals as three-fifths of a person for purposes of representation in Congress. The issue of slavery was a contentious topic, and many Framers chose to avoid directly confronting its moral implications.
