The USA in its creation faced that issue head on, hence “We the people” – slaves of course were property and not people in this definition!!.<br />I just love the BBC who reports the dodgy voting in elections for Head of State’s when they fail to mention that subjects of the Crown never have the chance even to hold an election as the monarch gets the job from God with a sprinkling of star dust.
