Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of things that we could learn from the Founders, just like there’s plenty we could learn from Aristotle, Plato, and Cicero. But just to show how different the world is today than it was in 1776 - to travel from Concord, NH to Atlanta, GA (the northernmost and southernmost capitals of the original states/colonies), in 1776 would have taken 16 days without stopping; you can now do that same trip in less than a day by car, and in less than a work day by plane.
