No.

You think the founding fathers were cynical and corrupt?

I want to believe that the Founders were altruistic and divinely inspired in their writings. Yet it is hard to deny that the separation from England was in part motivated by the desire to at least maintain economic and political power among the colonial elite of their time. That is human nature.
