Explanation:

The founding generation of American statesmen was an exclusive class: with the exception of John Adams, every US president until 1824 was an elite slaveholder from Virginia. Born into wealth and raised to be masters of others, they saw themselves as belonging to a better class of people that was naturally suited to leadership.

They even sought to rein in the political influence of the masses when framing the US Constitution.
