[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 747122, member: 944"] As I am sure you are aware, the criteria for voting was at theat time left up to the states. There was no UNIVERSAL right to vote enshrine din our Constitution at the time of its founding. There are some who would still argue that universal suffrage will only result in the poor eventually confiscating from the rich ....and that seems to be coming closer and closer to the truth each election cycle. I am certainly not sure of the proper answer, as restrictions on voting were used to enforce racial exclusions which I believe is totally improper and despicable. But the other extreme is not a result that I do not find functionally useful either. Mob rule is definitely NOT what our funding fathers endorsed. And majority voting with universal suffrage is very getting disturbingly close to mob rule. [/QUOTE]
