"I think the Constitution is an extraordinary document that should be followed to the letter.
And I think those without a vested interest in a community, have no business voting. This, by the way, is how the Founders intended it to be."
I disagree.
Nothing as important as the Constitution should stay static when there are many changes.
The Founding Fathers, were human & made mistakes.
Consider their stance on women & Blacks.
Blacks were not afforded the right to vote until 1869. Women couldn't until 1920.
Anyone living in a community HAS a vested interest.
