1-The social class that wrote the Constitution based off readings 6.1 and 6.2 is the wealthy class of specifically men. All white men who happen to be of powerful influence to the rest of the social groups at the time. According to reading 6.1, “The working people of that day have been portrayed as parochial spending thrifts who never paid their debts and who advocated inflated paper money.” This quote portrays the working class as is thought be the by wealthy. Undisciplined in order to take control of benefits the government had to offer. Which in modern society has not changed much given that government benefits such as well-fare and food stamps are still around. It presents an image of dependence that the working class are all grouped into when that is untrue for a lot of us. Second, in Reading 6.2 it says how marginalized groups of people were excluded from the Constitution. “… the slaves, the indented servants, the mass of men who could not qualify for voting under the property tests imposed by the state constitutions and laws, and women, disenfranchised and subjected to the discriminations of the common law. These groups were, therefore, not represented in the Convention which drafted the Constitution, except under the theory that representation has no relation to voting.” Many groups in the added quote were excluded from the Constitution’s draft and later the final writing of it. Representing the exclusivity much of this power had to the wealthy class.

2- A small reference to contemporary time was made in my previous statement. How modern social class of the United States has not much changed other than the implemented laws. Even with laws in place, discrimination and exclusion is not eradicated as an issue. Unfortunately, the similarity remains as working class citizens are still labeled as dependent on the government. A highly subjective and incorrect natured statement grouping together many different minority groups who belong to the umbrella term of working class. The government is no help in de-escalating what hostility working class social class citizens face considering most laws we had previously to protect us are being overturned in modern time. Proving that there has been a reversal or a step-back than progression to where we need to be as a society.

3-The people who wrote the Constitution were so afraid of democracy because it made their power over the working class less effective. Since those in the working class were a majority of citizens, their voting in a democratic social structure would throw the wealthy off. The influence the money has is still prevalent but not as much as when numbers of citizens are in affect. No way in escaping that number to out count the amount of money a person has in their pockets to influence their power dynamic away from the majority.
