And Native Americans born in this country, men or women, were not even recognized as citizens, let alone given the right vote, until well after WWI.

"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.
