Do you think the founding fathers constructed the constitution in such a way because they knew future generations are not gonna be bright?

No. How did you come to this conclusion?
Exactly the opposite. They were men who lived in a self-described age of reason and enlightenment and were optimistic about that continuing into the future.

Then why do you vote for those to represent you and make laws? Aka, representative democracy.

Americas Founding Fathers were brilliant. This has allowed the U.S to at least have a high top end in terms of education and capability. With such a system, inherently those who are less than able will fall through the cracks since meritocracy is important.
You can be born poor and work your ass off and be creative enough to become a billionaire. Mediocrity though, usually ends in an outcome commensurate with their skill set.
America needs to resist the impulse to engage in corporatism as it will destroy your Founders success of their vision.

Supposedly the voting was made that way for that reason.

They weren't bright themselves. If someone said that Hillary should have become Trump's Vice President, Trump Biden's, and Harris Trump II's, would you listen to any more of his lamebrain political proposals? Deny it as much as you need to feel smug and comfortable, but that was in the Constitution the Founding Fodder presented. It reflected the political ignorance of the horse-and-buggy era.

In a Republic, the Citizens Are Mere Spectators
That's a contradiction in terms. It's as anti-individualist as if everyone here had to choose one poster to represent them. Users who get the most votes will be the few who are allowed to post.
My thoughts are that this is dumb.
Yes. They did. They wrote the first amendment in such a way that governments can't arrest you for saying things the government doesn't like, and it placed the 2nd Amendment where it was to make it obvious that the 1st amendment had teeth.

Constitutional Republic. The founding Fathers were very clear on what type of government the US is.

Well, nearly 250 years on, the dumb plebs are still arguing over it's wording.
Nearly 250 years on, and it's regurgitated every 5 minutes of the day.
Why can't you just do what the planet does and move on? Everyone understands their constitutions and never mentions them.
What's the problem in the US??

They didn't want a Democracy because it shits all over individual freedoms and rights.
