We certainly need to improve.

I am not convinced in the "go back to the way it was designed" argument, since you either have to cherry pick the aspects you like, or advocate for reversing women's suffrage, emancipation of slaves, etc.

As soon as we agree that the founders got some things right and some things wrong, there is no more argument that they were prescient and we should revert to their designs.

IMO better to take stock of the current situation and seek changes based on their merits today, independently of whether they align to the ideas of 250 years ago.
