Constitution: slavery is legal under certain conditions.
You: "Idk about you but that seems to make it pretty cut and dry that slavery is illegal in the US"
While I agree with you we must admit that this is not a democratic republic or a republic in any way if we acknowledge that the law allows the ability to restrict voting rights.
If it must be an absolute then even someone guilty of treason must still have a representative vote.
Which I would agree with, but that is neither here nor there about what currently is.
You: "lol I'm gonna ignore everything past that part to try and prove my incorrect point"
Edit: and also ignore the point itself. If you have to meet VERY SPECIFIC CONDITIONS to make something legal, then it's safe to say it is not actually legal or even technically
