Except for this a thing called the US Constitution. Article I. Section 8. Clause 17.
“To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings;”
The Constitution is a shitty, antiquated document in desperate need of being modernized

That’s not what the constitution says about black folks. That’s what you’ve been told it says. Educate yourself please.
DP. It did say that enslaved folks only counted as 3/5 as a person. It's just that this was a compromise that favored slaveholding states. Enslaved folks should have counted as 0/5 of a person, for the purpose of apportionment in the House of Representatives, because they were considered property, not people.
Then, after Reconstruction was ended, black folks counted as 5/5 of a person, which still favored slaveholding states, which did not allow black folks to vote.
White women also counted as 5/5 of a person but could not vote.
In any case, there is no need to worship the founding fathers.
