oop - Why are constructors not inherited in C#?

Question

I'm guessing there's something really basic about C# inheritance that I don't understand. Would someone please enlighten me?

Answer 1

Sometimes, when subclassing, you want to restrict the conditions required to create an instance of the class.

Let me give you an example. If classes did inherit their superclass constructors, all classes would have the parameterless constructor from Object. Obviously that's not correct.
