Thank You! But my point is people who eat tide pods shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Even thought they are . Most unfortunate.

Aye! I tend to align with the points of view of Morris and Madison.

I don't recall ever undertaking a rigorous or comprehensive study, but state constitutions of the era are interesting on the subject of citizenship too. I checked a few when exploring the meaning of NBC. The qualification(s) for citizenship wasn't defined in the US constitution before the 14th amendment ...

The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.

The subject is still worthy of debate, but is more settled than global warming. I see the appeal of universal suffrage being used as a tool to pacify the people, to give illusions of control and freedom.
