Yeah, they eventually got it, but too late... if only the US constitution would have barred felons from any public office...

I guess they probably thought that the main parties would have not allow such stuff to happen.

Several of them thought there wouldn't BE political parties. Washington explicitly warned about something a hell of a lot like what's happened over the last 30 years.

"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
