The logical inference of why the Emancipation Proclamation did not free all enslaved people is that the Emancipation Proclamation was not written into the Constitution. This suggests that it had limitations and was not a sweeping legal measure that applied universally to all enslaved people. The other options either misinterpret Lincoln's intent or the implications of the Civil War on slavery.
