Also, on kind of a side note, the ratified Constitution barred the import of new slaves after 1808. Which is a major cop out on their part, but nonetheless they put it into the new colonial Constitution. So it's not that the Constitution avoids the subject of slavery all together, it just makes less of an issue out of it and puts the burden of abolition on future generations.
