1. By both readings, I can surely say that the social class who wrote the Constitution was the upper class. A class formed by white men which is a little bit ironic for me considering the fact that the Constitution says that \u201c[We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal].\u201d However, they were leaving certain groups outside of this claim. They wrote that we are all equal but left out people from the lower class as we see in the next quote from reading 6.2 [\u201cour groups whose economic status had a definite legal expression: the slaves, the indentured servants, the mass of men who could not qualify for voting].\u201d Another point that made me concluded that the responsible to wrote the Constitution were white folks from the upper class is pointed out in the next quote from reading 6.1 \u201cIn 1787, just such wealthy and powerful \u201cgentlemen,\u201d our \u201cFounding Fathers,\u201d congregated in Philadelphia for the professed purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation and strengthening the central government.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Of course yes, a hundred percent sure. I would say that until this day, the United States society is following the same structure when it comes to class position as the one followed back in the time of the Constitution’s writing. Today we still have the upper class dominating almost the entire wealth of the country, the lower class drawing in debts, and we still see how the working class are still making company’s owners jobs for a minimum salary. That is why I believe that we are still following that social class structure as the early United States Society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Because a government of total democracy doesn’t benefit private property which was exactly what the people who wrote the Constitution were trying to protect. The people who wrote the Constitution were rich trying to save their interest which were their goods and everything that they had.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
