"If you think that "all men" is a later evolution of "only
white male landowners" then I think you have your historical facts wrong.
There were men who were present at the drafting of those words who
understood all men to mean all men."
Pay attention, man. I said that some people at the time of the drafting understood "all men" to mean "white male landowners" and some men understood those words in the sense you suggest above -- every human being.
At no point did I offer my own interpretation.
