The Constitution begins with “We the People” and then proceeds to eff us over for the rest of the of the document. No citizen had the right to vote; our fore-fathers didn’t believe in it. BTW, Kavanaugh has expressed that not everyone should be allowed to vote.
House Members were to be elected only by those qualified to vote. Who was qualified was determined by the politicians of each state. The most common qualification was property ownership.
Senators were elected by the House.
Who could vote for President was decided by each State’s politicians. Each state was assigned delegates equal to the # of congressional members. Most states just had the delegates vote in the first several elections. If a state’s qualified voters voted for President; then the delegates would cast their vote for whomever got the majority; though they were not legally bound to do so.
Both federal and state Judges were appointed by politicians.
Enslaving someone was not prohibited. Indentured slavery was expressly approved. When the Constitution said “men” it meant “white men;” women had no rights and neither did Native Americans or Blacks, who were counted as 3/5th of a human being when it came to apportioning House seats.
Here’s how the voting went for the government implemented by our founding fathers in the first 4 elections…We the People my ass! Our Government was formed as an oligarchy; only the richest MEN in our society were allowed to vote.
In 1788, 44 K people voted [Of a population over 3M-3 states did not sign Constitution and did not participate]; 1792 28k voted [Even though there were 5 more states voted over 1788- 2 that allowed people to vote in 1788, stopped the practice in 1792]. In 1796, the first year people had a choice, 68K voted [There were 2 more states (Actually 3 because Massachusetts included the area we call Maine today and population had grown to Just under 5M]. In 1800, only 67K voted even though population rose to 5.3M.
Oh and the Bill of Rights passed a few year later did NOT make gun ownership a right [Just so ya know, Mr. “constitutionalist”].
Do you know why election day is Tuesday and only 1 day?
Ultimate voter suppression; Blacks enslaved; women 2nd class citizens, only the rich voted; what kinda person thinks this is the way to go? If someone makes $1M per, they’re not dumbshits, because at least their voting in their interest.
