Historical Context::After the American Revolution sovereign power was allegedly transferred from a monarch to "We the people." Obviously the idea of vesting power in the people was noble, but only about 10% of the population counted as "people" with full citizenship rights. Those who were not white, male and property owners were not legally considered "people". Over the next two hundred years groups excluded from "We the People" struggled to be legally defined as "persons."Question:Today we talk about a glass ceiling and a racial divide: are we still in the process of expanding who the "people" are or are we contracting on that ideal?
