Those who are familiar with the history of the United States, know, without a doubt, that the founding fathers did NOT believe that government was "inherently good"!  Neither do I.

"How soon we forget history...Government is not reason.
Government is not eloquence. It is force. And, like fire, it is a dangerous
servant and a fearful master." — George Washington

Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and fearful master.   Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action." — George Washington
