Knowing that the South needed time to progress in their own standards, a 20 year window or sunset clause productively challenged the idea of slave trade. In conclusion, the inclusion of slaves in the constitution was based on acts to support their presence as a person, gain room for representation, and end the objectification of slaves as imports. The analysis provided substantiates the claim that the constitution was mainly opposed to slavery, as this was used for argument during the debates over the 13th, 14th, and 15th
