while a confederation could only make it a wish of harmonisation of local laws, each state remaining independant.

If that is true, then why did they feel the need to bake this straight into the constitution?

Article I Section 9(4) No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.

Them there confederate boys sure do love their state rights.
