How would the founding fathers have architected the Constitution differently if it had been written in an era of global nuclear arsenals and hellfire missile equipped drones?

The original idea appeared to be that the Citizen was given inalienable rights, allowing them to use equal force to protect those rights.\r\n\r\nHow would this be handled today?

Except that at its inception, the Constitution granted citizenship only to white males. All they could have done would be to make that clause more specific and engrained in the document.

Recreational nukes

Outlawing of lawyers and soldiers as full-time professions

More explicit instructions to shoot politicians that infringe on gun rights

They’d make biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons impossible to make, but they’d ensure that the people could own literally everything else. You know, just like they did back in the day. The War of 1812 was almost won thanks to American privateers with personally owned warships blockading the British Isles into near starvation. Only the failure of the army on land caused a status quo antebellum.
