I said "the people" who voted were adult, white, male citizens.

Citation, please. Show us the law that limited voting to only that category. I suppose you'll have to show such law from all 13 states (unless you can give a federal definition from 1792), and then demonstrate additional law limiting the Constitution's use of the definition of "the people" to that of voters, which is presumably inconsistent across all 13 definitions. Oh, and what about that "landowner" criteria you were so insistent on, but have without comment stopped using of late?

Show me it wasn't. Show me where women voted. Or children. Foreigners. Slaves. Non-whites. Indians.

Come on! Put up or STFU already.

Once you answer one of MY questions, I'll then resume answering yours. So I'm waiting.
