"You would have to call the founders that because they did not see God in the classroom as an enemy to Science and that evidence is pleantiful."
Yeah, the founders also thought that blacks were 3/5 of a man, women had zero rights to anything, and one (Jefferson) even believed that the 'lost tribe of Israel' would be found in the newly-acquired Louisiana Purchase, giving specific instructions to Meriwether Lewis on how to handle them if Lewis & Clark found them.
I.E. Not everything the Founders did was necessarily correct nor above scrutiny.
Not really. The three-fifths clause started out as a proposal to apportion taxes among the states under the Articles of Confederation. The more population you had, the more taxes your state would pay. The South wanted to count only citizens; the North piously said they wanted to count everyone. The North offered the 3/5 clause as a compromise. It wasn't accepted.
Both sides flip-flopped during the Constitutional Convention, when, for purposes of representation in the House, a big population was an advantage. So they fell back on 3/5, for both taxation and representation.
No one was debating what a black person was worth compared to a white.
LOL!!. The 3/5ths clause was the first attack in government against slavery. Why not learn of a subject before your wield it as some form of argumentative weapon!
