It required an amendment to "give" women the vote. QED as written originally they were not entitled.

On slaves I would disagree on two points. Anyone denied the vote (other than children) should not count as population for apportioning representation, and, of course, slavery is just wrong. However, it is also worth noting that slavery has been universal throughout human history--another example of somethng we now consider immoral but previously was a normal fact of life. Last semester I audited a class comparing legal systems of Han China and the early Roman Empire. The laws regulating slaves were fascinating.
