I'm not sure that I completely agree with your assessment of what the founders would and would not approved of.
My guess would be that they would not be of one mind on this topic, much as they were not of one mind on almost everything that they discussed.
I will research this. I am not a scholar of the area, but in the dusty recesses of mind I have read some of the writings of some of the Founders.
In those writings it was expressed that the govt assuming some of the roles that we all take for granted today, would be perverse in that persons opinion.
