Well said.

Founders deeply distrusted democracy. Government in general, which is why system is setup to be so inefficient at change

The Founders deeply distrusted democracy, but loved big government. That's why they built the ability in for constituent governing bodies to construct and maintain a state apparatus for the totalitarian control of a mass slave population. Moreover, they built into the Constitution the ability for the federal government to assist in the operation of that apparatus.
