Show me they thought things would stay the same?

They didnt make predictions, they knew things would change. It didnt matter if the change was 5 years or 500, they knew things would change. Do you think Thomas Jefferson thought we would go to the moon and back?

You know, 50 states stretching from ocean to ocean...the end of slavery, the emancipation of women, the Civil War, electricity, telephone, automobiles, trains, planes, two world wars, an increase in population from a few million to 300 million, transformation from agrarian to urban, life expectancy doubled just to name a few. The end of monarchy as they knew it, the end of many of deadly diseases -- small pox, typhoid, polio and the cure for others.
So you think the Government gave us electricity, telephone, planes, trains, and automobiles? You think the 2 World Wars werent worth fighting for? You dont think the Founders would think that the Country they helped found wouldnt prosper and flourish? You think the government was the cause of ending deadly diseases

The atom bomb.
Think of how many lives that the atom bomb has saved compared to how many its killed.

Where are these provision for these?
Article V of the United States Constitution.

The Founding Fathers were just men. Men who created a great document, yes. But they were not Supermen who could predict the future.
They didnt predict it they provided for it.
