Dedi, I think its safe to say they were all for it. They recognised that the availability of free land was very important in promoting and maintaining social and political equality and the virtues of citizenship. The right to vote then was dependent on property ownership but with lots of land available virtually anybody could meet the qualifications. Land ownership gave people personal economic independence, which is very important for political independence. As long as you are responsible for your own financial well being, nobody can have enough economic power over you to compel or coerce you to vote any certain way. The founders though had no idea how quickly westward expansion would happen. When Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana Territory he thought it would take at least two hundred years to fill it up. Instead it took about 80 or 90. Michael Montagne

The founding fathers were religious men, but that was not their philosophy. Being men of education during their time, they were well read and took their philosophy from the idea of Natural Law. They believed, as stated in the Declaration of Independence, that all men were created equal and that their Creator (who they called God) had given all men certain rights which could not justly be taken away. This manifested itself in their view of the use of government being to serve the people and the view that government must not interfere with the rights God had given.

The Founding Fathers (Delegates to the Philadelphia Convention) did not "establish" racism. Racism has been alive and well in the world since the dawn of time. What they did do is tacitly condone slavery by not writing it out of their new document. From a practical view, thy had no choice. To get their new constitution ratified required the votes of several southern states. The delgates from those states made it clear that they would not vote to ratify a document that did not condone slavery. So it was simply done for political expediency.
