He and, a couple others, predicted exactly what was to come.

Patrick Henry said the the end of all government ought to be LIBERTY.

George Mason at the debates in opposition to this constitution, Sept, 1787 said..

This government will set out a moderate aristocracy: it is at present impossible to foresee whether it will, in its operation, produce a monarchy, or a corrupt, tyrannical aristocracy; it will most probably vibrate some years between the two, and then terminate in the one or the other.

” or a corrupt, tyrannical aristocracy;”

Dynasties of Kennedys, Bushes, Clintons and others. Imagine a dynasty so powerful they can kill somebody and everybody knows it and nothing is done. Pope Alexander the sixth (Lucretius Borgia’s father) would have been awed.
