reminds me of a bit of Scots history...back in the 1600's they wrote a "We the People" constitution as well...a document that was written by the elite in society..Nobles. Dukes, and others of social value...
Much like the American Constitution also written by people of upper society of wealth and political standing.....The WE was not meant for the peasants, surfs and slaves....but only intended to protect the elites rights and privileges.
