Thank you for the history lesson!

We would not need to get rid of the electoral college, which is now giving an advantage to urban areas, if we went back to only allowing landowners to vote, the way the founding fathers intended.

Want to vote? Show up to your polling place with your property tax bill. That would eliminate all the votes of the people who take and don’t contribute, totally changing the political landscape in America.

Renters too who are also paying over 1000$ of their own money. Farmers have always rented fields

That is exactly the way it should be done! The founding fathers knew what they were doing. They had a perfect governmental system in place and everytime we add an amendment, we take the country a little furthur down.
