The founders had become highly keen of the fact that God never gave one man all that power. It was inherent in every human being, a natural right to rule over ones self & his family. They were also very aware of English history when the king had no power except that of commander of the army. All other powers resided with the people & the heads of the households of the society. This is also why marrying someone of similar values & beliefs is so important. The breakdown in the family unit today can be directly attributed to the feminist movement and women thinking they can be equal to men in all aspects. The movement ushered in a new found selfishness that spread to the children.
I never want nor hope to be equal to my husband in every sense of the term. I respect & cherish his dominance on several levels. We instilled these values into our children and today they are/were better people for it. Our son is gone but he left a lasting impression on the lives he touched and our daughter who is in pre-med while working full-time enjoys a healthy level of respect from her peers as well as her boss & professors.
Well, you don’t have to hold that the female is subservient to understand or appreciate the value of having one vote per household. As the widow Taft demonstrated it could be a woman’s vote. Let the household decide.
