The following is copyrighted from my recently published book: The Never Realized Republic: An Analysis of Capitalism's Impact Upon Republican Virtue and the Federal Constitution. While the northern and southern colonies were essentially English, "between 1607 and 1642-a time of political and religious troubles in England-some 65,000 adventurous spirits went out to the English West Indies and the [American] mainland colonies."67 Ultimately there came to pass such a broad range of ethnic variety, the burgeoning colonies were slowly gaining an identity of being American. While the northern colonies of Plimoth and Massachusetts Bay, "were Englishmen of roughly similar social origins,"68 Pennsylvania and New York "came to represent the full ethnic range of Western Europe, while New England and the seaboard South remained essentially English in background."69 Of the political, economic, and religious (spiritual) motivations that brought so many to the New World not one was more or less important than the other. If we look to colonial charters, we find foundations of civil society and government, supporting the English heritage of religion, education, and manners that they brought with them.70 67 Meyers, ed., et al., Sources of the American Republic, 7. 68, ibid. 69, ibid. 70, See Chapter I above, 12.

Are there any quotes from the founding fathers about voting?
from Benjamin Franklin: "democracy is 2 wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!"
Were the founding fathers for or against the slave trade?
The question itself is not very fair. The founding fathers grew up in a time where male superiority was unquestioned. Most did not believe in votes for women due to the fact that it was not demanded or requested until a later time period. Most did not even address the sufferage movement. But, John Adams ( the first vice president) responded to a letter from his wife where he did not agree with the votes for women movement. In fact he discouraged his wife from pursuing the movement because of the political turmoil that was occurring (due to the Revolutionary War) and America did not need any more division between its citizens. They were probably neutral, but they weren't for it. That's for sure.
Did Samuel Chase rule a small or big government?
Neither. Samuel Chase was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and a signatory to the Declaration of Independence. He didn't rule any government; his highest position was Associate Justice on the US Supreme Court.
What coercive power did the founding Fathers put in the Constitution to protect themselves fom the violence of the masses?
I think this might be the section 8? yes it is near the bottem ...is this a question for a take home test by any chance because i am writting about this right now lol
What was the founding fathers view of human nature?
The Founding Fathers of the United States of America did not have very much faith in human nature, humans are inherently evil and will always take and grab power. Also humans are inherently stupid and don't pay any attention into politics, and were very uneducated and not in any position to vote towards the right way to rule a country. Thus the founding fathers put checks and balances on both the government officials, who would grab more power as well as upon citizens who are stupid. they did not want stupid common man running government, they were far too untrusting of human nature. thus they set up things like the electoral college, a group of people who would be educated and research the candidates and then select the correct path or candidate to vote for.
