Correct choices: Three-Fifths Compromise, The Fugitive Slave Law (more precisely the Fugitive Slave Clause), and the slave trade clause.
Briefly:
- Three-Fifths Compromise: a Constitutional compromise on how enslaved people would be counted for apportionment and taxation.
- Fugitive Slave Clause / Law: the Constitution included a clause requiring the return of "persons held to service or labour" who escaped to another state; later federal Fugitive Slave Acts implemented this.
- Slave trade clause: the Constitution permitted the international slave trade to continue until Congress could ban it (which it did effective 1808).
The 10th Amendment did not specifically address slavery in the Constitutional debates; it deals generally with powers reserved to the states.
