The main question facing the United States at this point is precisely this: were the Founders wrong in their assumption that Mankind can manage his own government.
At the moment, the reply isn’t looking too good.
They would have been repulsed by the idea of "universal suffrage" as it is enacted today. The current state of this government would be an obscene scandal to the Founding Fathers. They wouldn't recognize it.
Unfortunately, a high quality system of government requires a high quality society.
The quality in American society has rotted out, and will not return in our lifetimes......if ever.
