• Si pudierais extender el derecho de sufragio a todas las personas de color que puedan leer la Constitución de los Estados Unidos en inglés y escribir sus nombres, y a todas las personas de color que posean bienes inmuebles por un valor no inferior a doscientos cincuenta dólares y paguen impuestos sobre ellos, desarmaríais por completo al adversario.
