No, it doesn't. Once again, you spin absolute BS.

Nowhere does it say that only "sons of freeholders" are citizens.

One would expect that anyone above the level of an idiot or a liar, would understand that voting was a by-product of citizenship.

While we're at it, let's look at one of your claims which you had ranted about earlier. (That paying taxes made you a citizen.)

SECT. 42. Every foreigner of good character who comes to settle in this state, having first taken an oath or affirmation of allegiance to the same, may purchase, or by other just means acquire, hold, and transfer land or other real estate; and after one year's residence, shall be deemed a free denizen thereof, and entitled to all the rights of a natural born subject of this state, except that he shall not be capable of being elected a representative until after two years residence.

You're an idiot.

But I repeat myself.

Like an idiot.

YOU quoted James Wilson, who said exactly that:

In this view, a citizen of Pennsylvania is he, who has resided in the state two years; and, within that time, has paid a state or county tax: or he is between the ages of twenty one and twenty two years, and the son of a citizen.

Why did Gray skip over more than a century of The Enlightenment and Acts of Parliament?

Why use Calvins Case rather than anything earlier or later?

Why not go back to the common law circa 1324 during the reign of Edward II?
