This was the actual intention of the constitution. 3a. Do you think the slave articles should be removed from the United States Constitution? Humanity does not allow for one person to mistreat the other person hence I support strongly for the removal of the slave articles from the constitution to ensure that there is no such event of treating one another as slaves.
