Best Answer

The US Constitution was written by people who came to the Americas seeking a better life than they could find elsewhere. None of them had criminal records, (although they led a revolution against England to make a separate nation), and many of them were slave holders. England was run by a king in the 1700s, and many of the king's laws while legal, were not respectful of basic human rights.
