The Upper social class was more on the side of keeping all the power and leaving the lower class with nothing .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> 2.

Explain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#743ef2\">I would say that that the social class structure was a bit different in a way versus ours today . The reason I say that is because like in the previous question the upper class had majority of the power while lower had more like a pinch . In today&#8217;s society , upper class isn&#8217;t as power as they were back then , and the lower class was as powerless as they were back then .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Why were the people who wrote the Constitution so afraid of\u00a0<em>democracy<\/em>?
