   @Bernard not really true of Thomas Jefferson, he didn't care if you weren't Christian or white as far as I can tell, he was okay with Muslims for example.

     @Mr_NutterButter or, at least, they cared more about getting a country bootstrapped than getting every specific issue even if they disagreed.

     @sun all the founders were completely different from each other by a substantial degree the only thing we know for certain is that whatever is written in the general documentation most of them agreed with at a basic level.

     @sun @Bernard it's also very clear they understood why democracy was flawed to begin with which is why they have it set up as a republic and they had so many restrictions on who could vote and who couldn't that have been systematically destroyed over the decades.

     If I'm not mistaken there was even some writing saying that they didn't want to make a republic or even a democracy but they hated the British government specifically the king so much that they wanted to try and create something that would never resemble uk bureaucracy.

     Which is why they try to split up power among the government and try to create many fail face for people to try and divert or distill that power which in the end didn't work.

     But it was admirable that they tried.

     @Mr_NutterButter @Bernard something I don't entirely understand is how freedom of speech was supposed to work at the writing of the bill of rights, considering they weren't binding on states until after the Civil War. Maybe there is something about this I really misunderstand, which is very likely.
