What makes you think I have any respect for a rag drawn up by slavers?

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.
