An easy mistake. Both locations are cocked up beyond belief, utterly filled by dicks. We're all very salty about their output. See, man?

White male property owners who were protestant and not Irish or any of a host of other ethnicities that were arbitrarily decreed not white enough somehow.

It was better than nothing in practice and genuinely good in principle. But we need to remember that it was made in a cruel time as a compromise between flawed people. They needed something to prop up the fragile Republic today rather than something perfect tomorrow.

Unfortunately the Constitution only has as much power as we give it... and most of the time we only use it when it is convenient to the powers that be. If we don't defend our rights they don't exist.
