The Founders were men of property and eighteenth-century views. In his book,’The Framers’ Coup: The Making of the United States Constitution,’ from 2016, Michael J. Klarman, a professor at Harvard Law School, explains …
“that they ‘had interests, prejudices, and moral blind spots. They could not foresee the future, and they made mistakes.’ Largely drawn from the landed class, they had little interest in empowering the common man, and no interest at all in empowering women and Black people.
