If you found yourself transported to early 1788 Philadelphia, say about a year before the U.S. Constitution was signed, an if the Founding Fathers were all willing to hear you out, what would be some of the first things you’d say specifically to warn them and try to prevent some of the bad things that have happened in the real-world timeline since then? Basically, what differences would you want to see made to the U.S. Constitution from the beginning and how would you impress specifically on the Founding Fathers the necessity of diverging from their instincts in specifically those ways?
And keep in mind the Founding Fathers’ beliefs on things like slavery, “the free market”, guns, LGBTQIA+, etc.
The problem is that they might not be too upset about how things have gone. Aside from blacks having the vote. And women. And non-landowners.
The “founding fathers” have been deified by Americans, just like the document they wrote. They were the oligarchs of their era, they just wanted to tax America without giving a cut to England and they came up with some pleasing words to convince everyone else to go along with it.
