I am not saying it is right or wrong I am saying the Founding Fathers did not have the puritanical view of sexual conduct that developed during the evangelical movements of the early 20th century.
History is History no matter how much you want to deny it. Deal with what happened don’t try to rewrite history that is best left up to Democrats and other leftist. Conservatives should be realists and not try to change or ignore history because they don’t agree with it.
Washington DC did not exist when the Constitution was drafted.
The laws of Washington DC were drafted by the municipal government, not the Federal government.

The various Founding Fathers had various views on public morality. What is certain is that none of them imagined that the Constitution of the United States legalized prostitution federally.
They knew that the decision to outlaw prostitution was left to the several states - or in states lacking statewide legislation, local governments.

This would be a more convincing statement coming from someone who was familiar with American history.
There were revival movements in America prior to the 20th century. Look up "The Great Awakening".
The historical fact is that prostitution was illegal almost everywhere in the United States, except for certain port towns and mining camps in unorganized territory.
Legalized prostitution has never been the norm in the United States.
There you ... bringing up those pesky FACTS again...
