I disagree. The founders for the most part did agree that an aristocracy should control the government, but that aristocracy had an obligation to follow the will of the people. When this government was first created, the founders struck a careful balance between having some power lie with the common man and having some power lie with the aristocracy. I think they had a pretty good balance in the beginning, and I think that their intentions were mostly pure. They were wealthy people, and history has glossed over that fact a bit, but they served their nations to the benefit of their nations.
