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.
Most of the founding fathers were anti-democratic too.
Several of them were literally royalists that were opposed to the revolution until they realized it was too late to change public opinion. Particularly Ben Franklin
They’d think #8 was fucking sweet, they literally bought cannons to fight the government with their personally funded armies.
