No matter what the machine (BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, Honda), it has to be put in the hands of a human. That driver can destroy the best built machines. The same is true with government. No matter how well constructed it is, the humans who pilot it can crash it.

Yes, just so. As an example, certain present day characters come to mind.

No matter how well constructed it is, the humans who pilot it can crash it. That's true. But if you crash a golf cart, you do a lot less damage than if you crash a Ferrari. Therefore, if the drivers at large are incapable of handling the awesome power of a Ferrari, it's best not to give them one. The Constitution erred not by granting too little power, but by granting too much.
