Great overall, and very progressive for its time on civil rights and liberties issues, but also dated in some respects.

.....

Considering that included slaves in the Census at all (3/5 of them is better than nothing), it was very progressive. It may be considered racist by today's standards, but people were more racist back then anyway. The founding fathers at least recognized women and minorities as people, even if they were inferior.
