not that is is morally correct, but I understand where they were coming from, and its a big reason why I believe in term limits for Congress today.

yeah, voting varied from state to state back then. there were states that had allowed women's suffrage, and free blacks to vote. all that changed more than one over the first decades of the us's existence.
and absolutely, term limits should be instituted in congress! it exists for the executive, it should for the legislative as well. would certainly keep members from politicking from election to election, with no much actual work in between!!!
