In all likelyhood if all of the members of this group were alive in
1788 none of us would have been able to support anyone for POTUS at
least not as far voting for a candidate. This is because in 1788 less
than 100 men( White men and mostidf not all were members of the state
religion in their state) in the entire country who were allowed to
vote fot the POTUS and VPOTUS. Only the electors from each state were
able to cast a ballots for the office of POTUS. People did not go to
the polls and cast ballots back then. The most men from any one state
who were allowed to vote for POTUS in 1788 was 12.
