Good thing you were not around to draft the Constitution.
The people who drafted the Constitution were hardly perfectionists. For example, they put in the 3/5's clause for slaves because they knew the issue of slavery would have to be dealt with at another time if they were to keep the 13 colonies together. In fact, reading the history of that era demonstrates that the creation of the Constitution and its ultimate ratification involved one compromise after another, which is something that George Washington in particular was quite proud of. In contrast, where a perfectionist approach has been taken, disaster has always ensued.
