I think Americans wanted more individual liberty and a system of more checks and balances, as such the executive was bound to be at odds with the congress aka America's version of a parliament. It wasn't a step backwards, it was just different. The funny thing is today, there's actually factions on the right saying a move back to connotational monarchy would be a good thing because democratic parliaments and even republics have been shown to be a net negative for society. I of course take no position one way or another, but it's just food for thought.
Tremendously insightful revisionism…
