Voting should be a Privilege, not a Right

I don't think you know what the 3/5s compromise was about.

It wasn't about voting, it was about representation. Southern states wanted slaves counted within their population when it came to their representation in government. Other states had the argument that if they aren't citizens of the country (and are, instead, PROPERTY), then the state shouldn't be able to count them as people when they wanted to. Eventually it came to be that each slave was counted as a fraction of a person in deciding governmental representation.

Ignore my post, I'm retarded at night. Reading his post made me think of voting rights for blacks / slaves - history is just a jumbled pineappleing mess in my mind late at night. Would have been better to simply state that it would have been better had they not been counted as people at all.[/COLOR]
