I don't care what the founding fathers intended. Know why?
1. They never intended for black people, women, indigenous people, or even white men who didn't own property, to be allowed to vote.
2. They intended for slavery to continue to be an institution.
3. They could not conceive of semi-automatic rifles that could shoot a hundred rounds in a minute.
4. They had never heard of a computer, let alone one so complex and intelligent that it could count the votes of 200 million people in a matter of days.
So yeah. Basically screw the founding fathers. Let's do what works.
