I assume you're talking about the amendment issues, in which case the founding fathers have nothing to do with it. It was a ploy by Northern statesman to make sure that come the next elections blacks would vote for them and overwhelm white southerners to give them control of the South. Its vote pandering written into the constitution. Vote pandering not unlike Obama is doing now.
Time for hype
