Question

it has been often asserted that the constitution was made exclusively by and for the white race. it has already been shown that in five of the thirteen original states, colored persons then possessed the elective franchise, and were among those by whom the constitution was ordained and established. if so, it is not true, in point of fact, that the constitution was made exclusively by the white race. and that it was made exclusively for the white race is, in my opinion, not only an assumption not warranted by anything in the constitution, but contradicted by its opening declaration, that it was ordained and established by the people of the united states, for themselves and their posterity. and as free colored persons were then citizens of at least five states, and so in every sense part of the people of the united states, they were among those for whom and whose posterity the constitution was ordained and established. -dissenting opinion on dred scott v. sandford, what quotations are evidence of the claim that the constitution was not written to assert the rights of white people only? check all that apply. ☐ 	he constitution was made exclusively by and for the white race\ ☐ \it has already been shown that in five of the thirteen original states\ ☐ \colored persons then possessed the elective franchise\ ☐ 	hat it was made exclusively for the white race is... contradicted by its opening declaration\ ☐ \free colored persons were then citizens of at least five states\

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
- The first option is the claim being refuted, not evidence against it.
- The second option starts to show there were non - white contributors (by mentioning five states where colored people had a role), the third option shows colored people had the right to vote (elective franchise) which means they were part of the people the Constitution was for, the fourth option says the "exclusively for white race" claim is contradicted by the Constitution's opening declaration, and the fifth option shows free colored persons were citizens (so part of "the people" the Constitution was for). So we check the options that provide evidence against the claim.
# Answer:
- B. "It has already been shown that in five of the thirteen original States"
- C. "colored persons then possessed the elective franchise"
- D. "that it was made exclusively for the white race is... contradicted by its opening declaration"
- E. "free colored persons were then citizens of at least five States"
