Back in the times you talk about American citizenship and constitutional rights were based on race. So shut the fuck up.Wow, want a hankie to mop up those tears?
And by the way, I am not white.
But thank you for expressing your racism.
Oh, and the only requirement was that you had to have a background in law. There were no "Law Schools" at that time, you actually learned the law as an apprenticeship by studying under a lawyer. In fact, Abraham Lincoln is unusual in his era as he did not even do that. He was entirely self-taught, reading law books from the library. Doctors normally trained the same way, there was no "Education requirement" because there really was no such education in the era the Constitution was drafted. That did not actually really come about until the turn of the 20th century.
