Well, no. The government our Founders created still had slavery. There are clauses in original text of the Constitution about the extradition of escaped slaves. It took a war to fix that.

The government our Founders created didn’t allow women or minorities the vote. It didn’t allow for the direct election of Senators, or presidential term limits, or set clearly defined rules about Presidential succession. We had to fix those things over time.

Funny how that works.

And it had no standing army. That would have worked well in 1941.
