Since I can't crawl into the minds of the Founders, I can only guess that they made certain assumptions. At the core of those assumptions was that Americans of all political stripes would be operating under the same set of general ideals and guideposts, and then the blending of disparate ideals would lead us well into the future.So they believe in the Constitution. But that belief is in a similar vein to the Leftists, that it does or doesn’t mean what we think it should. We project our own ideals into the principles put forth. It is a mistake we all make. Not just in the Constitution either. History. Religion. Philosophy. We project our own ideals into all of these. And since they are our ideals of course they are right.
That "blending", of course, would require a shared commitment to the very same communication and collaboration that created our Constitution. There is no way the Founders could have seen that the country would ultimately split into two separate, competing realities like this. They simply could not have predicted this.
