9. And women and blacks weren't supposed to vote.

Your problem is you are trying to divine intent, and hold up that intent as the unwavering standard no matter how much the circumstances change.

What instead is accurate - and more troubling - is that the Constitution has been gutted of the checks and balances the founders established, and which the United States has not legally amended to be altered.
