I think all men that fought and died for this country thought the generations would rise up from the grave and fight this present government. We are being raped by both our politicians and big business. We need a change, a change in the way we elect federal officials.
The framers of the constitution feared a large central government and tried hard to establish a federal government ruled by the citizens. We no longer have a citizen's congress. We have a congress of career politicians, who are driven by a lust of power and will use any means to stay in office. The power based is now controlled by big business. Our people are enslaved by credit debt. Most Americans now owe their souls to the company store. Our jobs are being exported so business can prosper, and we are told we must work for lower wages to compete with international labor. The number of Americans with health insurance is dropping, but the bottom line profits of companies like Wal-Mart are exploding.
Yes, the framers of the constitution would revolt today. We need to revolt today. We need to reinstate a citizen's congress. We need a system that insures the elected officials who go to Washington go there with the needs of the people in mind. We need people to go to Washington who don't go there to be reelected. Perhaps the solution is as simple as establishing a minimum age requirement of 62 for a candidate to run for congress. Perhaps if we send people to Washington who have already lived their productive lives they would be less inclined to entrenched themselves in public office.
The seat of government in Washington is much to powerful to be occupied by lifelong politicians. Even the most virtuous people can be corrupted by power over time.

The movie "National Treasure" cites reference to when change is necessary.

BEN: Of all the ideas that became the United States, there's a line here that is at the heart of all the others:
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security..."

Probably. The framers of the Constitution did not anticipate politicians in office for life. The idea was to take ordinary people, have them serve, then return back to civilian life.

As a history buff, it is of my opinion that they would. Theres almost no doubt.
But the question is, would they have let it get this bad.
