They weren't smart, they were drunk; there's a difference. We don't even trust drunks to drive these days. They fall well short of the pedestal people put them on. 1) They thought the electoral college was a good idea. This has burned us over the years by making it easier to rig presidential elections and gives states with large populations of stupid people (ie California[1]) disproportionately large say. 2) The vast majority of the time they spent writing the "framework" for the US was spent in a pub across the street from Independence Hall in a drunken haze. [1] Though I'm sure if they thought a state inhabited almost entirely by retards could one day exist, much less become very populated, they would probably have realized how retarded the idea was even through their drunken stupor. - -- .''`.
