Answers to questions about the Constitution

1. In writing the Constitution, were the founding fathers simply intending to protect their own privileges?
I would say so the Founding Fathers really only had concern for the rich, white, land owning males of America. Madison states in Federalist Paper Number Ten that only men with good character should elect officials to government. This quote shows how many of the Founding Fathers never really meant the women, blacks, and poor were included in the famous saying "We the People".

2. Did the founding fathers originally think that there would be many amendments to the constitution or did they think it would stay as solid set of laws not to be changed?
The Founding Fathers definitly made room for extra amendments and changes to be made added in the Constitution. The 18th ammendment letting the government be able to make any laws that are honestly neccassary to Americas well being is the answer to that question.
