You mean like how wrong the framers were about civil rights? Women's rights? Voting for Senators?
People like simos should learn a little history.
So you also want to bag the system of electing the Senate? Cali should get five Senators and Wyoming one?
One thing I'm not sure of is whether they envisioned the end of slavery and minority voting. At least some were slave owners as I recall, but when the South was pushing for slaves to vote and the North didn't want people without free will to vote at all, as they would vote the same way as their masters, I'm not sure they saw an end coming. And, I'm not sure they ever thought they'd get a full vote.
As an aside, it irritates me when people talk about the Three-Fifths Compromise as a bad thing. It's an anti-slavery provision people. Anyway, I'm off to watch Westworld again.
They never advocated for slaves to vote. They just wanted to count them for the purpose of maximizing the number of representatives the slave states got.
The Northwest Ordinance is also pretty clear evidence that they thought slavery would eventually end.
I'm not going on the journey with rj
I'm not going on the journey with rj beyond the scope of what was addressed to me here. I think I covered everything but women voting. Yes, I do believe they contemplated that. Women had wielded tremendous power in Europe before this country existed. Queen Mary and her sister Elizabeth to name a couple, and that's just England. Nothing suggests that they weren't aware of that fact and that an evolving society would prevent women from having their say.
I'll throw in the immigrant argument because I'm predicting it might go there. A large group of immigrants fought a war for independence here. Not sure if you were going there, but if you think they didn't contemplate future immigration issues, you'd be wrong.
Also sig, what's wrong with my posts?
Not referring to your posts. They were informative.
RJK should be prohibited from posting on this subject again until he reads the Federalist Papers. The Framers clearly rejected pure democracy because it has never lasted. It's dumb to say you think they were wrong, given the success of the federalist republic they created, but even dumber to suggest they wouldn't have done what they did had they known what demographic trends would be over 200 years later. Kind of incredible that people who have the benefit of hindsight still get it wrong.
Kermit is trying to overthrow the US government? I could see Rick Astley, but Kermit?
Coup scheme?
