But, I haven't bought the book so I don't know if it's true that he excuses the Three-Fifths Compromise in the U.S. Constitution, which counted a black person as only three-fifths of a whole person to determine congressional representation.
I read that DeSantis defends the founding fathers for agreeing to the compromise because “counting slaves as less than a full person for purposes of representation benefited anti-slavery states.” DeSantis supposedly maintains that allowing slaves to be counted as three-fifths of a white person gave slave states extra representation without having to actually allow black people to vote.
Sounds like he thinks the Constitution is inerrant and holding black slaves as less than fully persons was a good thing .  That can't be true. Has anybody read his book? |
zeek, I thought you wanted *honest* public servants who did not use office for personal gains?
Surely you can't still be supporting Gillum, who is under FBI investigation for ethical violations, bribes, and corruption.

What do we know about the FBI cloud over Andrew Gillum's campaign?
