Barbara Jordan was not included in the "We the People" mention of the Constitution because she lived long after its ratification in 1787. The Constitution reflected the attitudes and societal norms of its time, which largely excluded women and people of color from political representation and rights. Jordan, an influential civil rights leader and the first African American woman from the South elected to the U.S. Congress, fought for inclusion and equality, highlighting the ongoing struggle to extend the principles of the Constitution to all citizens.

The generation in question, particularly in the context of the United States, decided to delay action on the issue of slavery until 1808 due to a compromise reached during the Constitutional Convention. This compromise allowed the importation of enslaved people to continue for 20 years after the ratification of the Constitution, postponing the potential for federal legislation against the transatlantic slave trade until 1808. This decision was largely influenced by economic interests and the political necessity to maintain unity among the Southern and Northern states.
The Constitution places extremely heavy and borderline burdensome limits on the legislative and law enforcement powers of the federal government. Since around the turn of the twentieth century these lawful limits have largely been ignored by those in power in the federal government.

Ratification of the U.S. Constitution became a matter of public debate largely through the Federalist Papers, a series of essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. These essays were published in newspapers and aimed to persuade the public and state legislatures to support the new Constitution. The opposing arguments from the Anti-Federalists were also disseminated through pamphlets and public speeches, creating a robust public discourse around the merits and drawbacks of the proposed government framework. This debate was crucial in shaping public opinion and influencing the ratification process.

After the 1851 Virginia Constitution, voting rights were extended primarily to white male citizens who met property qualifications. While free Black men had some limited voting rights prior to this constitution, the 1851 reforms largely excluded them from the electoral process. Additionally, women, enslaved individuals, and those who did not meet the property requirements were also disenfranchised. Overall, the reforms solidified voting as a privilege for a specific segment of the population.
