I truly believe that most people who dismiss the founding fathers as an obsession or otherwise irrelevant to modern day are also the same people who have never read any of the well-documented and freely available discussions they had about governance in general. Excluding technological and other scientific advancement, they really did think of almost everything. Even the oft-cited claim that the country was founded upon "Judeo-Christian values" is argued to death in their correspondence and shows that they were ultimately neutral and fantastically "tolerant"... so long as you take their words for their meanings at the time of their writing and not by modern renditions.
