Were the freemason's the builders of the system of government (Federal and State) that we have today?
Did they determine the course that future generations of Americans were to follow?

I don't blame them for how things have turned out. The founding fathers would have to have had extraordinary foresight to have predicted what has happened. They couldn't have seen it coming!

They did have the foresight. Most believed a government should not stay in p[ower this long. If we governed more by the Constitution as they wrote the country would be better off
The basic beliefs of Freemasonry are the bill of rights and most American beliefs.
--- freedom of reilgon
--- all men are created equal

I don't think it is fair to lay all the blame at the feet of the freemasons, but it is an interesting thought, especially when you realize that all the founding fathers were part of the freemasons. It's almost like saying that Jesus was responsible for the foundations of America because all the founding fathers were Christian (although I think that is false. A good number of them were atheist).
What I do like to laugh about is when someone says we should be a certain way because the founding fathers were all Christian but that same person is appalled at the idea of being a freemason, even though all the founding fathers were.

maybe they take such concepts as a poll: we are a Christian u . s . a . via fact maximum human beings of electorate are Christians. i'm not sure it rather is quite real, yet quite there are extra Christians than atheists. a solid lots of them could be Christians in call basically, yet i assume that counts. As to the founding fathers, they made it abundantly clean that they weren't founding a Christian u . s . a .. there's a explanation why there is the clause approximately no non secular attempt for containing public place of work interior the form, and why the form ought to no longer be ratified with out the bill of Rights. the 1st modification comes first for an extraordinarily solid reason. additionally, i think of maximum Masons are a minimum of nominally Christian.

i watched a history channel documentary that said NOT everyone was a free mason, there were only a couple or a small handfull.
if my memory is correct. Most were Diests, not even christian
but when it comes to architecture, there is a lot of symboloism found especially in the disigns of pentagrams.

No. They laid down the foundations for Mormonism.
