The slave trade clause, the Three-Fifths Compromise, and the Fugitive Slave provision/law.
- Slave trade clause: the Constitution explicitly allowed the importation of enslaved people to continue until 1808.
- Three-Fifths Compromise: decided how enslaved people would be counted for representation and taxation (counting each as three-fifths of a person).
- Fugitive Slave (clause/law): the Constitution included a clause requiring escaped “persons held to service” be returned; later federal fugitive slave laws enforced that principle.
The 10th Amendment does not specifically address slavery (it reserves powers to the states).
