Answer:

The Three-Fifths Clause, the prohibition on Congress ending the slave trade for twenty years, the fugitive slave clause, and slave insurgencies were all specific clauses in the Constitution that dealt with slavery. Surprisingly, they avoided using the word slave and instead referred to slaves as individuals.
