Nobody can speak for their intentions except them, but the subtext is highly suggestive of the idea the founding fathers set up the nation to be rigged from the start.

Consider the following.

Suppose you wanted answers on why each election only highlights two possible answers. The founding fathers wrote they thought the masses were stupid (not even sure if that’s their exact wording, it even may have been) and that the process had to be dumbed down.

Suppose you wanted answers on why voting power is distributed between county lines. One can cite none other than Alexander Hamilton who said he thought “people would be overriding each others’ interests otherwise”.

But… then suppose you wanted answers on why people way past their prime can ascend to the presidency. The founding fathers, surprise, really did think about this, long and hard, since Rome had the same question lingering, but then said “meh it’s not going to be that big of an issue” (despite the fact something like the elections being dumbed down seemed big enough to manifest how it was manifested).

It definitely seemed like they were sewing the seeds of tyranny.
