Founding fathers

I am so very tired of hearing what the founding fathers intended when they wrote the constitution. Who cares what they intended? They were mostly slaveholders who believed that women shouldn't have the right to vote. So why would we care? The constitution was made to be very basic so it could adapt with the times much like our government. So if something (like the law that stated that african americans would recieve 3/5's of a vote) is viewed as outdated or absurd we can change it. So saying what the founding fathers would have wanted is moot.
