"Idiots and lunatics"
May. 20th, 2009 12:08 amI was reading through the Texas Constitution tonight and ran across a part that has since been superceded by the U.S. Constitution. The particular section states:
ARTICLE VI.
Suffrage.
Section 1. The following classes of persons shall not be allowed to vote in this State, to wit:
First -- Persons under twenty-one years of age.
Second -- Idiots and lunatics.
XDDDDDD
I'm not entirely sure how they expected to enforce that, but okay historic fellow Texan buddies! *giggles some more*
