At the time the United States Constitution was ratified, all women and poor men could not vote. The Constitution also ratifed slavery. Do these facts hurt its legacy? Explain

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

When they wrote the declaration of independence they said we the people. But they really meant white men who owned land. women, black people, and people who didnt have land did not have as many rights as White men. this is changed later on in history. Hope this helps!
