It's not really fair, Mike, to expect the 1787 version of the Constitution to match today's rights for women, Blacks, or Native Americans (Amerindians)...because it simply reflected the prevailing social ideas of its own time.

It was really quite progressive for 1787, but things change as the centuries go by. People's expectations change. We are probably presently taking for granted things that will be seen as very unjust a hundred or two hundred years from now.
