The correct response is:
The Framers did not address the morality of slavery, but rather addressed it as an issue of representation.
During the founding of the United States, the issue of slavery was primarily approached in terms of political representation and economic interests rather than moral considerations. This is evident in compromises such as the Three-Fifths Compromise, which determined how enslaved people would be counted for representation in Congress.
