One can perhaps make an argument for a single Ammendment which would have allowed QUALIFIED people of all races, sexes, etc to vote. The key being the word QUALIFIED. Universal suffrage leads to mob rule. Are we there yet? The obvious flaw here is the non-qualified live in thrall to the qualified. This is most easily indentified in that the non-qualified will definitely be taxed, represented or not.

You realize, of course, that as of 1800, there was not universal suffrage.
