The correct response is:
**The Framers did not address the morality of slavery, but rather addressed it as an issue of representation.**
When drafting the Constitution, the Framers created compromises such as the Three-Fifths Compromise, which counted enslaved people as three-fifths of a person for purposes of representation in Congress. They deliberately avoided moral discussions about slavery, focusing instead on political and economic considerations. They did not make slavery illegal and did not grant voting rights to formerly enslaved people.
