Race Gender And Power In The Founding Era
The first thing that strikes a diligent observer, is the want of precaution with regard to the *sex* of the president. Is it provided that he shall be of the male gender? ...What shall we think, if, in progress of time, we should come to have an *old woman* at the head of our affairs? But what security have we that he shall be a *white man*? What would be the national disgrace if he should be elected from one of the southern states, and a *vile negro* should come to rule over us? Treaties would then be formed with the tribes of Congo and Loango, instead of the civilized nations of Europe.
The focus on race and gender within debates over political leadership during the late eighteenth century primarily reflected which of the following?
A
Concerns about disturbing traditional social hierarchies and power dynamics.
B
A step towards achieving racial and gender equality in leadership roles.
C
An effort to improve diplomatic relations with nations outside of Europe.
D
A call for more inclusive democratic systems across all races and genders.
