“””The original Constitution granted the Black vote as only 3/5
the of the White.”””@@@@@@@

The 3/5s rule was to count people to apportion representatives for congress.

At this time only free men were voting anywhere. No women’s suffrage/slaves had no rights.

The honest use of the ballot box is key if America is to stay a free nation!
Time for paper ballots and “Purple Ink” for federal elections at least.

The founders gave us the road map to MAGA, but success requires ALL Americans to fully participate in the “American Experiment” as productive and informed citizens who freely and openly debate the issues and make intelligent decisions that are best for Our nation under the Constitution. When special interests become your god instead of our Creator then only skewed and emslaving decisions can be made, this is human nature, to make selfish decisions vs righteous decision.

Keep on FreeQin on! MAGA! WWG1WGA!

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” (John Adams, October 11, 1798.).

´´He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man...The sum of all is, if we would most truly enjoy this gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people´´ —Samuel Adams

Also originally had to own property as I recall. So lots of white males couldn’t vote either.

Free men who owned property and paid taxes.
