5 0

The quoted line is from the poem of ‘Persephone the Greek Goddess of Spring’ by Ingrid Jonker. The line ‘your eyes dried seeds, your body a husk of light’ means that—in your eyes dried seeds, it is trying to point out the daughter of Persephone, in which it symbolizes the way of her daughter going back to the underground while her mother didn’t even paid attention to the nature, in which she should. Your body a husk of light is trying to point out the last time Persephone saw her daughter.

The Constitution of the United States is the supreme body of law of the Nation and was ratified on June 21st, 1789. The quotations showed above are evidence of the claim that the Constitution was not written to assert the rights of white people only. The different quotations show how colored people were taken into account by the constitution and its laws with examples such as "colored persons then possessed the elective franchise" and "free colored persons were citizens of at least five States." The other quotation that states "that it was made exclusively for the white race is contradicted by its opening declaration" is making a reference to the opening statement of the Constitution that states "We the people of the United States" in a clearly reference to every citizen of the country and not only one part of it, such as the white race.
