We have heard a lot in the past year or so about what the Founding Fathers intended and about their vision for us. Many folks have a very romanticized idea of the original Constitution and how it came to be. People keep saying what the founders intended for all of us. I am not so sure many of those people who are making these statements would have even be allowed to vote.
After our Constitution was first ratified, there were significant changes. For instance, senators were not directly elected. The vice president was elected differently also. Many of the fundamentals have changed. Do we really know what those early leaders thought? We can only tell from their essays. letters and of course, deeds.
