Replace public constructor on an abstract class with protected #776

Fixes - #134. Added a suggestion to modify the modifier of constructor in an abstract class to protected. The constructor in abstract class doesn't need to be public since it can't be instantiated and it leads to better code semantics.

Maybe use two-space indentation in the test code?
