Constitution drafting is not all that different from transit planning. The cliche about how sausage is produced applies. The 3/5 person count for slaves, no vote for women, and many other things we cringe at today were a part of getting the package passed. In turn some issues are simply a reaction to evolving concepts of universal human rights. As a 73 yr old, I was raised when many stereotypes and prejudices which we no longer consider acceptable were simply givens of mass culture. Ultimately the famed "Athenian Oath" applies both as an ideal for each human and agoal forcivilization as a whole. |
