I will give you another picture, an analogy, of the founding:
Say a colonial smuggler ship, out of Rhode Island, in 1776, is being overhauled by a British frigate.
The smuggler captain wants to give the ship up for search.
13 smugglers aboard disagree, and mutiny, rather than be captured by the British.
After these 13 take over the ship and kill the officers and crew, what sort of government will they form for themselves?
Without all the frills, linguistic flourishes, and disingenuous political and philosophical justifications, take a look at the Declaration Of Independence.
Think of it, behind all the smoke screen of rhetoric, as a compact for a group first of smugglers, then of mutineers, and now, of pirates.
