Most of the drafters owned no slaves. Regardless of the source of the document, generally discussion of government focus around the law. I guess if we're ignoring the law, sure a populist totalitarian government can do whatever you want. There's not much to discuss then.

Personally, I'm a fan of the rule of law. I guess even if there wasn't a specific law, I would still want to respect unalienable human rights anyway though.

We're probably closer in opinion than you think, but I don't think billionaires have an "inalienable right" to the stolen efforts of workers.
