Not all the founders thought the Slavery was okay. As for the Sexual Sin you didn't answer my question. Were the founders mentally insane or unstable?

If not, when did the new enlightenment come to pass? Are we smarter than the founders?

Not all of them thought sexual sin was bad either.

Are we smarter? Maybe not, but we (some of us) have a better understanding of what liberty and justice are.

Not "smarter," but different. Slavery is abolished, women aren't property, we have child labor laws, people are educated, etc. All of those improvements to our society would be unthinkable to the Founding Fathers. Doesn't mean it's bad.
