The average age of the framers of the constitution was 42. They of course, lived out the rest of their lives after creating the document. Ben Franklin, for example, lived to be 84.
only white men who owned property (including other human beings) could vote originally. so the Founders had a staggeringly incomplete sample of the potential population. their documents, heavily biased & skewed, have become increasingly irrelevant over time ---> low information, low frequency voters
Had they paid attention to ancient history, maybe they would have. It seems like all of the great nations of the earth hit a peak of popularity due and then self implode. The US is taking a play from Rome.
