The correct response is: **The Framers did not address the morality of slavery, but rather addressed it as an issue of representation.**
In the U.S. Constitution, the Framers included compromises such as the Three-Fifths Compromise, which counted enslaved people as three-fifths of a person for purposes of taxation and representation in Congress, reflecting their focus on political power rather than moral considerations regarding slavery.
