One third of the colonists, didn't care, one third were loyal to the Kind and England, and one third were for the revolution and separating from the crown. Of that remaining third, those who were members of the Continental Congress were the wealthy/upper middle class, with a very few middle classers thrown in.
Of the first presidents, ALL were an ELITE class.
I'd give you an in depth history lesson, but you can't afford to pay my fee and I shan't do it for free. Now go away...I'm bored with feeding your masochism.
I proved no such thing.
The views and beliefs of the public shaped the choices of the first leaders. The Constitution just wasn’t imposed top-down by autocrats. The leaders had the people to be accountable to. They weren’t their dictators and couldn’t have just imposed one religion sect as a state religion.
And I know all about that the colonists’ were split on supporting England versus supporting revolution. That isn’t the topic.
And I have never disputed that the first leaders were of the elite class. But I do dispute that they are essentially being given the credit for being the entire original U.S., and its only founders, versus all the little men and women who had beliefs and fought for them, too, and whose beliefs certainly influenced the form of our government.
