    Well, from what you say it sounds like they were pretty stupid to create a democratic republic based on the consent of the governed, so maybe their advice isn't all that useful.

    Absolutely,
    But they were working (I assume) from that old adage "Democracy, the worst form of government ever invented....except for all the others." Still, I feel their conviction that the form of government they themselves designed and implemented would need to be completely torn down and rebuild in every way every hundred years or so still bears strongly on our present situation. We're to the point that politics exist for politicians to get re-elected, and no element of the Three Branches functions as intended any longer.
