Little Hawk and Richard Bridge, you guys appear to know quite a bit about the US Constitution. Could you possibly quote the parts of it relevant to your statements?

Little Hawk: "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."
