Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The U.S. Constitution originally contained provisions that were openly racist, such as those regarding slavery and the counting of slaves as three-fifths of a person for legislative representation and taxation purposes. While these provisions have been effectively nullified by later amendments (notably the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments), the original text of the Constitution has not been deleted or altered, meaning the original language remains part of the document.
