Constitution...Institution.... same thing, right?

The truth about the Colonies agreeing on the constitution is that it was, very possibly, the greatest comprimise in US history. The best thing, ( i believe) about it was regarding the slavery isssue. Obviously the southern states would not have agreed to it had slavery been condemned in it, but the wording seems to imply that all people regardless of gender and race are equal. So what's up with that, eh? I think the founders were a fairly bright group, despite deciding to get together in the middle of the summer in a closed room (no open windows even) wearing all their wool getup and wigs, in that they were able to provide a way that when the time was right and the people were ready, to address issues such as true equality - aka, the ammendments.

ohhh.... I've been spending too much time in my American Govt class.... I need to stop that. ;)
