Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The framers of the Constitution did not include a provision to lead to the eventual inclusion of nonwhites in political life. In fact, many of the framers themselves were slave owners and did not support equal rights for African Americans or other minorities. The Constitution actually included several provisions that limited the political power of minorities, such as the three-fifths compromise and the exclusion of non-property-owning men and women from voting.
