Realistically the constitution was made by the upper class. By wealthy land and property owners with the only intention being to protect their money and assets. The working and lower class individuals were not involved in writing the constitution but forced to follow. Alexander Hamilton was considered of elite status as well as James Madison while enslaved individuals and farmers as the ones in Shays Rebellion was considered a threat and were silenced. In addition ones social status hold a lot od standing evening after they have passed on and times have changed. Like Martin Luther King Jr dream will always be a story to the tell the future generation, Albert Einstein will always be the guy kids aspire to be for his intelligence, Ben frank will always be more than the guy who invented things that has his face on a 100$ bill, and Harriet Tubman would not always just be the the women who helped free fellow slaves and form the Underground Railroad, to have a name people care about means to always have some power even if they are dead and gone. In earlier societies color, power, gender, and more limited you to what you were able to say and do. But also limited if you were able to vote or not and now women have more od a voice, abilities to vote and do more than they were previously subjected to. In all reality if people were able to work together and collaborate this could have alll been avoided. Their were and still are more “poor” and working class people who could’ve took control and power for what they knew was right and what they needed but the lack od knowledge gave the upper class more of an advantage unfortunately. The upper class have a bigger idea of unity than the lower class as everything feel like a competition and everyone is trying to make sure they can survive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
