Madison: “The right of suffrage was much more diffusive in the Northern than the Southern States; and the latter could have no influence in the election on the score of the Negroes.”
And again: (summary of a speech) "He contended that the States were divided into different interests not by their difference of size, but by other circumstances; the most material of which resulted partly from climate, but principally from the effects of their having or not having slaves. These two causes concurring in forming the great division of interests in the U. States. It did not lie between the large & small States: It lay between the Northern & Southern, and if any defensive power were necessary, it ought to be mutually given to these two interests. He was so strongly impressed with this important truth that he had been casting about in his mind for some expedient that would answer the purpose. The one which had occurred was that instead of proportioning the votes of the States in both branches, to their respective numbers of inhabitants computing the slaves in the ratio 5 to 3, they should be represented in one branch according to the number of free inhabitants only; and in the other according to the whole no. counting the slaves as if free. By this arrangement the southern Scale would have the advantage in one House, and the Northern in the other. "

It'll be awhile before I respond, of course. Thanks!
You may live. For now.
I'm about halfway through this and recommend it. I'm a big fan of WRM in general, and he is making some very imporant points about what we might see from Trump. TL;DR for many, though.

I wouldn't mind it however there are other things we need to look into as well such as a drive to clean up voter registrations where it is estimated we have over 4 million dead and illegal voters. I have heard that the DOJ has continuously prevented this clean up and allowed it to go on, and just why are people so scared about voter ID's.

did you look into who produced it?
where did you hear this? did you check to find out whether or not it was true?
