The "Founding Fathers" have been what amounts to being deified by the political right. They're even claiming the Constitution was inspired by God. As long as they think that way, they will continue to fight any truth that questions it. It's really weird, and uniquely American, I think. I mean… we don't see this deification of King John for signing the Magna Carta, nor the barons for crafting it. Yet, the Constitution's framework was founded on the Magna Carta.
