- The wealthy upper class wrote the Constitution to maintain and grow their wealth. The working lower class was excluded and not allowed to participate. The difference between two classes is that the upper elite class owned properties and lands.
- I believe the social class system in early America was quite similar to what we have today. Although there are more chances for working people nowadays, women and marginalized groups still encounter obstacles in seeking fairness.The rich still take advantage of the working class, just like they did in the past.
- The people who wrote the Constitution were worried about democracy. They were afraid that if working class had too much say, they might make rules that helped them more, which will make rich people lose their control. At that time, most people were workers and didn’t have much money or power. If they had a big say in the government, they might push for better working conditions and higher pay, which could threaten the wealthy people who owned most of the businesses. So, instead of giving everyone equal power, they created a system where only elite class could make important decisions.
