never before seen limitations on a central government through a unique system of checks and balances Their mistake, and our doom, was in not limiting who could vote. Just because a person is a citizen should not entitle that person to vote. Not every citizen has the same stake in our well being.

They did. The 15th ammendment took care of that.

The worst Mistake we ever made was eliminating taxes as a requirement to vote. (24th amendment.) Second worst was probably lowering the voting age to 18. (26th amendment)
The 14th amendment was also pretty bad because it gave the Courts infinite flexibility in manipulating real rights and real laws to suit their liberal preferences.
We made a lot of mistakes.
