[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4061209, member: 24302"] I doubt any framer thought Blacks were less than whole people. But as Blacks at the time were considered property and not free citizens the framers didn't want to give extra clout to States with large slave populations. You want to apply your modern sensibilities to a different era. Wasn't a matter of screwing up, it was a practical compromise for that time. An amendment process allowed the Constitution to change with the times. [/QUOTE]
