Whether you need a Creator to be seen to believe He exists is a whole other conversation.

Of course it could be unrealized for more than a century, as it was and had been for millennia on five continents. Endowment does not equate with guarantee. Free will gets in the way. Here we are now, though, 155 years later, with most people living in the present.

FDR didn’t pack the Court. (I’m guessing you’re defining packing as adding additional members, which could only be done by an Act of Congress). He floated the idea but the pushback prevented it for obvious reasons.

I think Franklin’s comments were true and prescient but the words on paper remain as bedrock founding principles with a mechanism for improvement.
