Our Founders and writers of the Constitution made one serious error - which led to very serious consequences:

They did NOT clearly and firmly establish Federal requirements to earn the privilege of the vote - in order to deny the vote to the illiterate, the criminals, the non-productive, the dependent or the insane .

Indeed, so we now have enemies of the Republic in charge who are working steadily to assure the collapse of our civilization. They won't be happy until we are in state communal housing with rationed heat and one bicycle to share to get to our assigned slot as a state assigned worker cog.

Remember at the time the Constitution was ratified Senators were not elected nor were Presidents.
