Has Bachmann really read the United States Constitution?

Republican Tea Party (people who supposedly love and idolize the Constitution) candidate, Michele Bachmann, believes the founding fathers worked "tirelessly to end slavery."

Has she even read the Constitution? If she has, does she remember the Three-fifths compromise? (Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3)

The Three-Fifths compromise was the deal that Northern and Southern states made where slaves only counted as 3/5ths of a person when assigning congressional representation.

I want to know how does she account for this fact? Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 does not give slaves freedom. Nor does it state that they have full equality to whites.

It does nothing like that.

In fact, it allowed slavery to continue by not explicitly banning it.
