The point is that you are trying to claim that they wanted to keep politics accessible to all but somehow despite their best efforts a political class emerged.
Yet they didn't provide for direct democracy, enfranchised only part of the population, took the highest political offices for themselves, ect. Look at the first 5 presidents, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe. These were not some common guys off the street. These were the political elites of Colonial England and then early America.
