    I doubt that they thought that. You don’t think people as smart as Franklin and Jefferson knew that a lot of people are stupid?

    Founders knew their creation was imperfect and expected us to continually improve it. Probably not even Franklin suspected we’d have people believing it was Revealed Truth.

    The Founders were wise men and Statesmen. No such men or ladies in leadership these days.
