No one from south of SC or west of PA. Yet these people who all believed a women and slaves were not to be counted as real people wrote rules and Laws that we still must be adhered to verbatim 246 years later. Don't misunderstand they were smart people and great ideas but if you think that they could foresee what the World has evolved into and that people would take a single gun that could shoot more bullets in one min then 100 men could with muskets you're a fool and do you honestly believe they would sit back and let someone just slaughter others ,children in a school at that? just stop.

It might have been less than that.

Just surviving child birth was considered a “big fucking deal” back then

These seven men are most widely considered to be the "Founding Fathers". This is how old they were in 1776. I do believe five of them either owned slaves or married into slave-owning families. Unfortunately, the institution of slavery had been a part of American society for more than 150 years by 1776, and they were all born into this slaveholding society where the morality of owning slaves was rarely questioned.

James Monroe - 18
Alexander Hamilton - 21
James Madison - 25
Thomas Jefferson - 33
John Adams - 40
George Washington - 44
Benjamin Franklin - 70

While these seven are most widely considered to be the "Founding Fathers", there were many other men and women who played vital roles in attaining America's independence.

Did any Women sign the Constitution and in your own post you question the morality of these men for Ownings slaves ,yet we follow their words like they were from God himself on all issues. Why is it we can't "update " the Constitution?

No women signed the Constitution. You could probably look that up if you were unsure.

I don't follow anyone's words like they were from God.

We can amend the Constitution.

It was sarcasm and we can but we can't . Same question why hasn't the ERA passed yet?
