Did The Founding Fathers Misguided In The Preamble Of The Constitution?

“We the people”, as the founding fathers have expressed in the preamble of the US Constitution is the statement that is the cohesive glue that holds the foundation of the thought of American freedom and liberty across the political paradigm. It was then and it is still now what represents the American values across all nationalities. My thesis question is, did the founding fathers’ although misguided in their ideal model of the social contract. Did they at least have some understanding that with the growth of the population in America, would the governments of this time be able to represent the community as whole within the spheres of civil rights, political parties and civil liberties as intended in the preamble of the Constitution?

He knew that if people were left to their own devices to come up with legislation on how to rule the community as a whole then it would result in legislation that was self-interested and somehow promoted personal gains. It was in this form of thinking that in the Federalist Papers #51 Madison said that the checks and balances are needed in order to control the government from becoming despotic. Therefore, checks and balances were as such a direct reflection on human nature and our pursuit for the passions rather than reason or logic. (Hamilton, Madison, & Jay, 1961, p. 318) It is here that Madison proposes his grand theory. “If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.” (Hamilton, Madison, & Jay, 1961, p. 319) In the preamble of the Constitution there is a direct mention to the altruistic model of trying to achieve domestic tranquility and trying to secure the blessings of liberty within the community. The assumption put forth by the Federalist paper #51 assumes that in a free government the safeguard for civil rights should be the same as the security for religious rights. (Hamilton, Madison, & Jay, 1961, p. 321) Madison understands that there is a correlation with the growth of the population and the personal interests of each of those groups. These multiplicities of

Paul Ryan who was Romney’s choice of Representative in order to be his running mate showed that political parties are factions that are hidden within the US political system. Ryan had an elitist term that he used to describe the dichotomy of voters. He believed in “makers” and “takers” Where policy was created for budgets with tax cuts for the makers and sharp programs cuts for the so called takers. (Dionne Jr., 2016, p. 374) This model of thinking would later be disastrous to Romney on May 17th, 2012. When he expressed how he felt to a group of donors in Boca Rotan about how his faction views the general public. Romney said “that there is 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what.” (Dionne Jr., 2016, p. 375) He goes on to say how people are victims and that those people are also dependent on government. That they believe that the government has a duty to take care for them and are as such entitled to social benefits like health care, food, and housing. (Dionne Jr., 2016, p. 375) This contempt for the needy is what clearly shows that the framers in thinking that a social contract would work is not what they intended. All the framers were gullible, except for Madison who thought of the inclinations and the fallacies of human nature. The fact that the
