Allowed the common people to vote and created a new style of popular politics.
The qualifications were put into place by the founding fathers when they wrote the Constitution and have not changed. I think they did not want to eliminate anybody who might be a good President. The voters add their own qualifications when they vote and there is a grueling campaign that tends to expose any weaknesses in a candidate. I wonder what qualifications you would like to add.
The Missouri General Assembly, by a majority vote of each legislative chamber, may propose amendments; these do not require governor approval, nor can they be vetoed.Initiative Petition: at least 8 percent of the legal voters in 2/3rds of Missouri's congressional districts.Proposing a constitutional convention: can be called by the General Assembly or by a vote of the people when the question is automatically submitted at 20-year intervals.In all three cases: the proposed amendment must be submitted to a vote of the people for ratification and only a simple majority is required for an amendment to become part of the Missouri Constitution
African AMerican, Females, and religions other than christians could not vote.
People that meet all of the qualifications, but can not vote are people that have convicted serious crimes and have not yet served their sentence. (I looked it up in my World Civics Book!)--You're Welcome!
