Perspective on who was entitled to the rights.

All of the Founders agreed that white, land-owning men were entitled to the rights of the Constitution. Beyond that group there was disagreement. Therefore, to get the passage of the Constitution some made compromises knowing the states could adjust laws as needed. 
Blacks were not considered people in some cases, let alone entitled to rights. Women also were treated in a similar way. As the US grew so did the groups included in the democratic process.

Describe how the roman government fell. need asap hurry please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 44 points.
krok68 [10]

There were a number of reasons that the Roman Empire fell.  By the 5th century A.D., the Romans experienced repeated invasions by Germanic tribes who were constantly encroaching on its borders. Internally, the empire suffered from overspending and unfair taxation. Their was also an increasing gulf between the rich and poor. The Romans depended on slaves and the supply significantly declined. These problems were compounded by the rise of the Eastern Roman Empire in Byzantium. At first, it allowed the empire to be administered more efficiently but the two eventually drifted apart due to differences in religious expression and ideology. The two sections also failed to work together to stop outside encroachment. Governmental corruption and instability caused a number of problems as well. The rise of Christianity and the weakening of the military structure has also been viewed as one of the reasons why the Roman Empire fell.
