How were more people added to be included in the phrase you the People?

The phrase "We the People" in the U.S. Constitution originally referred primarily to white, land-owning men. Over time, through amendments and civil rights movements, more groups were included, such as women, African Americans, and other marginalized communities. Key milestones include the 15th Amendment, which granted African American men the right to vote, and the 19th Amendment, which extended voting rights to women. These changes reflect a broader understanding of democracy and inclusion in the American political system.
