Why did the delegates put off the slavery issue when writing the new constitution Would this issue be easier to settle in the future?

The delegates at the Constitutional Convention chose to put off the slavery issue primarily to ensure the unity of the states and facilitate the ratification of the new Constitution. Many feared that addressing slavery directly would lead to deep divisions and potentially jeopardize the fragile alliance between Northern and Southern states. They believed that the issue could be resolved later, underestimating the growing tensions surrounding slavery that would ultimately lead to conflict. However, rather than becoming easier to settle, the issue escalated over time, culminating in the Civil War.
