Sorry OP of this one, I did quote them better in the actual paper. I pasted it over, and could have formatted it better. The point is the people who (mis?)lead the revolution, like Samual Adams, had tons of rhetoric about freedom. They then proceeded to seize 5/6th of the government. The Senate was elected by state representatives until the 17th amendment in 1913. Only white males with considerable land, were allowed to vote. The 3/5ths comprimise gave slave owner's a pretty hefty sway congress. Just resummerised, you probably know this stuff.
