You do understand the founders were the original majority whose passions the US Constitution was written to constrain? They did not view themselves as infallible or perfect and thus they wrote a constitution that:
1. Tried to constrain the power of government.
2. Allowed for amendments to correct any issues that cropped up with the constitution they wrote.
“1. Tried to constrain the power of government.
“2. Allowed for amendments to correct any issues that cropped up with the constitution they wrote.”
That came from the anti-Federalists, founders like George Mason and Patrick Henry who opposed the Constitution on the grounds that it granted far too much power to the central government.
They insisted that the Virginia Bill of Rights be incorporated into the Constitution as amendments to try to reign in the power granted to the national government. Otherwise it would not have been ratified and the Articles of Confederation would have remained in effect.
