Without a doubt.
Do you care to elaborate? I'm undecided but would love to hear why you think otherwise.
Rights are not gifts from one man to another, nor from one class of men to another. It is impossible to discover any origin of rights otherwise than in the origin of man; it consequently follows that rights appertain to man in right of his existence, and must therefore be equal to every man.
Thomas Paine: Unknown
A private central bank issuing the public currency is a greater menace to the liberties of the people than a standing army." We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt."

Sure.

We've discarded this view in favor of an elite aristocracy that runs a mean game of corporatism over the American people. He probably is rolling in his grave.

Thomas Jefferson
Speaks for itself. I could go on all day at this and include letters, quotes, articles, etc.. that would clearly deliniate why the founders would not only consider what this nation has become as a failure, but a grave danger to liberty.

"Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants."
Benjamin Franklin
The founders were not of one mind, just as Americans are not today. I think some would be surprised the nation is still functioning, as is the government. And lo and behold the government is pretty much as they intended and left. Only 15 new Constitutional Amendments added to theirs.
At this very moment I think they would see a flaw in the Constitution that allows some malfunctioning of the government and would offer suggestions. Maybe Jefferson would be upset that our attempt at education has not worked as he had hoped. Others might be upset that too much progress has been made and others not enough progress. In all, I think they would be pleased, as most of us should be.
