WRONG!
First of all, "unfiltered democracy" is still just as dangerous today, as it was then. Perhaps moreso. Probably moreso.
As I understand it, the 3/5ths deal was a NORTHERN compromise, - the Southern slaveholders understandably wanted each slave to count - reason being for increased representation in congress, not that slaves were to be afforded any rights other than to be a slave. The Northern states, for their part, didn't want any slaves counted at all, in order to dilute the power of the Southern states. We can deduce this stuff, despite what anyone at George Mason Uni might have to say, or Business Week.
Remember, those determined to undermine the constitution won't ever stop, it requires eternal vigilance on the part of the citizenry, to become and remain informed of just what exactly our forefathers did, and bequeathed not to just this country, but the world. What's next, abolishing the Senate, too?
Very true. The Left are at work like termites, night and day, in power or out, to render the Constitution meaningless and establish themselves as aristocracy.
