Actually the Founding Fathers were very aware that they could not predict the future. That is why they provided a way to change the Constitution. They did not provide for that change being done by executive order, or by the EPA.
Actually the founding fathers knew exactly what to expect from government as they experienced it in the form of English (British Gov. by then was a democracy) rule. The founding fathers limited Gov. by putting the Bill of Rights in the Constitution and reserving all other rights to the States except the expressly enumerated limited rights of the Federal Gov. Neither the Federal Gov. or the States can infringe on the personal rights set out in the Bill of rights and a majority of the people can not change the Bill of rights. In short the Founding fathers did not trust gov. or a majority of the people with the personal rights of the individual.
