[Alberta's Child]

Nothing new here.

After reading extensively about the events surrounding the Whiskey Rebellion in the early 1790s, I realized that the United States of America as envisioned by these Founders probably didn't even last one decade.

That something as extensive as The Federalist Papers was required to sell the idea of the Constitution should have been a tip-off of future trouble.

Alberta's Child: "After reading extensively about the events surrounding the Whiskey Rebellion in the early 1790s, I realized that the United States of America as envisioned by these Founders probably didn't even last one decade."

Then you misunderstand the Founders' original intent for their Constitution.
In fact, the Constitution in several places addresses issues like rebellion, insurrection, "domestic violence", invasion and treason.

These provision came into play during the Whiskey Rebellion, and again in 1861.

That's exactly right, and the way it's supposed to be.
