The founders did not intend for FedGov to exist in its current state, we did this to ourselves.

Don't forget that the original design was corrupted by the 17th Amendment. If the Senate represented states, the states would not easily create other states that would water down their power.
All of this.
However, now that fair and honest elections, even state and local ones, are a thing of the past, anything vis a vis the Constitution is practically irrelevant.

51 senate votes And more or less 51% of the population?
We can elect someone president even when 3,000,000 more Americans vote for someone else.
