I beleive they would be intrigued and Horrified by the state of our country today. they would be intrigued by the progress in all fields of human endeaver Sience medical etc. and Horrified at the state of our government which we as citizens have allowed to transpire. their intention was to have the smallest and least interfering government body possible. Government was, in the American ideal set forth by the Founders, only a servant of the people. It was there to serve the will and consent of the governed, where all power was to be placed. The role of government was strictly limited by our Founders lest it grow into a new form of tyranny.
welcome to the modern age. and although you may want to, as seems to have become human nature you cannot blame one man or group we are all responsible for this mess.

the place did you get the thought that the founding fathers envisioned all of us to be any particular faith. the entire reason of separation of church and state is so the government can't dictate what faith all of us needs to stay with. So persons are loose to prepare regardless of faith they decide directly to, or none. it may be an more suitable international if all of us concept somebody became into finding over their shoulder at each thing they have been doing. yet that may not the pastime of any government provided that doesn't be freedom.

I think some of the 'Fathers' would be like Ed Harris, as he represtented a real leader in NASA, in the movie "Apollo 13"...
When Harris is confronted by his superiors, they say, "This is going to be America's graetest tragedy!"
Harris, without missing a beat, says, "With all due-respect Sir, I think this will be our Greatest Hour!"
Naieve-optimism, maybe, but History, records it as a success, just as Harris, or the real-character represented by him, stated.

The Philippines is barely functional. Why don't you just leave us alone and worry about your own country, all right?

The forefathers could have fainted if they see what is happening to the Philippines now - corruption like no other.
