Granted our founding fathers knew a thing or seven about government, but wouldn't it make sense that certain laws and philosophies that made sense in the 18th century might not do so in the 21st?

To the extent that such changes require constitutional changes there is a process built in to the system that allows for amendment of the constitution. If you can ignore parts of the constitution that seem old fashioned, or declare them not active by judicial fiat, then we are no longer a nation of laws and out constitutional protections are worth very little.
