Pretty sure the people who wrote the Constitution expected armed rebellion or assassination well-before this point. They could not have anticipated how comfortable the masses, even the crime lords, the vainglorious rich meddlers, and the warmongers who pay others to do their dirty work, would become. Today, they are all in the club, and the loose-canons either in prison, blackmailed, or on the payroll.
Hell, Trump is damn-near the closest thing to a loose-canon in any position or disposition to de-rail the Whitehouse’s plans today.
They very well understood that the system they made was first and foremost in service of capital. They were wealthy slavers and capitalists themselves.
Yes, but they also belived that went hand-in-hand with violence, both personal and in personal service to a cause. Eliminating dueling was a mistake, precisely because it distracted them from eachothers’ juicy throats.
Hamilton is worshipped today as an outsider to that system, a self-made-man, who forced change, but for all of the understanding he demonstrated, I find it hard to believe he handled this one issue for the benefit of the people. In fact, he avoided it, and maybe not for the reasons that are popularly understood today.
