Because the other option is a Republican, obviously.
The fundamental moral flaw of the right is a focus on blind justice and not empathy, e.g., flawed parents should be allowed to fail and if their children suffer, that is the parents fault.
The Right supports free speech
if that speech echoes their views e.g., Harvard. Other views need to be silenced and defunded if possible.
The Right is guided by the Christian religion and has a strict view of exactly what a family should look like. People who don't fit that mold are demonized.
For the Right, human life has value but only before it is born.
Racial preferences and racism in general are
written into the Constitution.
1. The Three-Fifths Compromise:
- This compromise, found in Article I, Section 2, Clause 3, was a crucial point of contention during the Constitutional Convention.
- It addressed the issue of how enslaved people should be counted for representation and taxation.
- Southern states wanted enslaved people counted to increase their representation in the House of Representatives and the Electoral College.
- Northern states were hesitant to count them, leading to the compromise of counting three-fifths of the enslaved population.
- This clause, in Article I, Section 9, Clause 1, prohibited Congress from banning the importation of slaves until 1808.
- It reflected the compromise reached by the delegates, who recognized the strong desire of Southern states to continue the slave trade.
- The clause ultimately allowed the slave trade to continue for a limited time, before Congress could act to prohibit it.
3. Fugitive Slave Clause:
- This provision, in Article IV, Section 2, Clause 3, required states to return escaped slaves to their owners.
- It was a controversial issue, with Southern states wanting strong guarantees to protect their property rights, while Northern states were more reluctant to cooperate with slave recapture.
- The clause was a major point of contention in the decades leading up to the Civil War.
Happy to oblige.
