“Which section of article 1 specifically states slavery is legal in the United States.”

Section 2.

Prediction: You will next state that the U.S. Constitution does not “specifically state” anything at all about slavery. That slavery never legally existed in the U.S.

Next you say that the Fugitive Slave Clause did not exist in the Constitution because “bound to service” was not a reference to slaves.

Next you say the Migration or Importation reference was just a guest worker program.

Next you will say 13th amendment was unnecessary because slavery was never legal.

Doesn’t that just about cover what you will say?

You are not the first person that I have spoken to that attended government schools.

I never said that the Constitution said slavery was illegal.
The Constitution of the United States does not rule on the legality or illegality of Slavery. It tacitly admits that it exists in the country. The word “slave” or “slavery” is not to be found any where in the Constitution. If it was “enshrined” as you claim, then it would have been illegal for over half the states of the Union to make slavery illegal before the Civil War began.
