No, Today’s America Would Not Surprise The Founders In The Least by Benjamin R. Dierker

Putting aside that they understood the concept of innovation, and even had repeating firearms, this group of men understood something far more fundamental: human nature. Baked into virtually every meticulously crafted line of the Declaration, Constitution, Federalist Papers, and treatises of the day was a recognition that man has both incredible capacity for cooperation and devastating potential for destruction. Equipped with knowledge of history and of human nature, the Founders had possibly the greatest predictive power of any group of people throughout history.

I hat when people say, "The Founders could never had imagined..." It's simply not true. They had greater imaginations and the power to predict because they so well understood immutable human nature.
