41. really
you are very ignorant of American Revolutionary History it was to establish a republic not a democracy.

Not only were slaves not counted
women were not counted

you had to own land

jews could not vote.

if you did not support the religous dogma of the colony you were in you not only did not vote

you got hung from a tree like the quakers in Massachusettes.

They specifically did not want people voting directly on anything they wanted them simply to vote for somebody that would make decisions for them hence the electoral college. Not only that but they did not want the people voting for Senators either.


All of which of course avoids the OP which is why do the Clintons keep changing what they say is important. Because they keep on losing.
