It did not define personality, but the right of suffrage. In any case, the fact that someone made a mistake centuries ago does not mean that any definition is a mistake. That is too obvious a fallacy to need commentary.....In the Constitution, even those without the right to vote (women, children, landless journeymen) were counted as persons in the census. The one debate was over the status of chattel slaves. If they were like cattle, how could they be counted as persons for the purposes of even indirect representation? The South, on the other hand, would have lost too much in the Federal balance of power if they were excluded entirely. Therefore, they compromised, and counted them as partial persons....
