which social class wrote the Constitution, and which class was excluded and not allowed to participate in this process?

1) The arguments presented in Readings 6.1 and 6.2 the Constitution was written by the wealthy elite landowners, merchants, and creditors who had a huge interest in protecting their economic power these people were from the upper class, owning property, businesses and so on and debtors were excluded from the process and were not given a voice, people in the working class, small farmers and those not rich had no opportunity to choose the government the wanted

Would say that the social class structure of early United States society, was the same as ours today, or different? Explain.

2) It is pretty much the same those with financial power have still advantage on the working class for example, the difference is that today the middle and low class are given voice and vote but still the rich ones have priority

Why were the people who wrote the Constitution so afraid of democracy?

3) They believed it would lead to instability and threaten their economic interests, they saw too much public participation as a danger, particularly from the lower classes (working class), who might push for wealth redistribution, debt relief, or policies unfavorable to property owners, so basically they put their interests first and they did not want the lower class to has much participation or influence
