It is very strange idea to equate life experiences gained before 18 of people born in 21st century in 18th century.

Also, as outsider, I would never understand US fascination with "Founding Fathers". Some folks born about 300 years ago and somehow having answers to all the questions for all the times. Back than this country was a backwater colony which barely started industrialization. Overwhelming majority of population lived out of sustenance farming and majority of trade goods were products of slave labour. I mean, it is what it is, but where this yearning for glorious past which never existed comes from? Like, life in USA became more or less good only several generations ago, after the country became giant economical winner of WW2. And it did it by investing heavily into helping allies, not building isolationist policies.

Have you read any of their writing? A lot of it is timelessly insightful and they were very intelligent men.

> having answers to all the questions for all the times

This gives away that you haven't read them, because they themselves explicitly denied having answers for all time, and stated that the government needed to evolve with the governed.

Perhaps you should read their comment again: they never said the "Founding Fathers" claimed to have eternal answers, rather they pointed out the odd ritualised deference by people today to things written hundreds of years ago by people who (by your own admission) explained that the things they wrote would likely not be entirely applicable to the future.

This judgement of course depends upon the standards of the observer and where in the US you look. Before the attack on Pearl Harbor, many elites in the Empire of Japan had spent time in America and came to view America as spoiled, decadent, and too soft to fight a long war.
