What the Founders did intend was for the Constitution to be changeable and for the people to have ultimate power in the land, precisely so that the people could choose to update and expand the values that the USA was founded on to include more people and affect greater equality and freedom, because they knew that would be an inevitability. Thomas Jefferson even wrote that the Constitution should be updated every 20 years to keep up with the updated sensibilities of the common public with each generation, to not be permanently bound by the sensibilities of the past.

Instead we have a completely partisan Supreme Court making regressive rulings, and the conservative/republican agenda of fucking over literally everyone but the wealthy.
