I’m not sure what any of that has to do wiht the article. The article says “There were paper money laws. Paper money was welfare. Framers no like. Framers call cons. convention.”

“The Framers wrote the Constitution, then, to safeguard against the chief defect of democratic/representative government – the oppression of the wealthy minority by the poor majority.”

Obviously this is not the case if property requirements for voting franchise were removed through the Constitution.
