The one they envisioned caused a devastating Civil War. 

I do agree, though, that the bulk of what they created was designed to form a more perfect government and one that could be extremely successful. However, I don't think our government was truly successful until it began to use the tools in the Constitution to be a successful government for ALL Americans, not just a few.
