You have a point. The Constitution did not allow women to vote in 1787.

'You have a point. The Constitution did not allow women to vote in 1787.'

The founding fathers had no conception of women voting, people of color voting, why they could barely tolerate the idea of Irish people voting!

Male, White, and property owners only. They no doubt tried to exclude the Joooooos.

Doesn't mean they were "bad" and that the document was "bad". Just a peek into the way they thought then...kinda like the way the Saudis and the Islamofascists handle things...now.
