What would the founders do? Figure it out yourself

I read a lot and hear a lot about what “the Founding Fathers” meant when they cobbled together the Constitution. And I read and hear a lot about what people think “the Founding Fathers” would do regarding issues faced by Americans today.

Indeed, a constitutional interpretation called “originalism” hinges on coming to some conclusion about the intent of the constitutional framers when they put pen and ink to paper.
