What quotations are evidence of the claim that the Constitution was not written to assert the rights of white people only? Check all that apply.

“the Constitution was made exclusively by and for the white race”
“It has already been shown that in five of the thirteen original States”
“colored persons then possessed the elective franchise”
“that it was made exclusively for the white race is . . . contradicted by its opening declaration”
“free colored persons were then citizens of at least five States”
