Or were the Founders just supposing the Constitution would be followed by gentlemen with a sense of honor?

More or less. John Adams stated that the Constitution was good for the governing of a good and religious people and inadequate for the governing of any other.

It does seem that the Constitution is based on honor at the highest levels. I guess the question isn't whether America deserves to survive but whether Americans really deserve democracy.

Mr. Adams was a wise man.
