Nope, the political leaders that founded the USA were extremely well educated and would probably put the average modern person to shame on any topic or skill that wasn't invented after their death. Motherfuckers these days can barely read and write.
The average dumbass knows how to Google stuff now, and feels like they are smart because they can operate a touch screen device and access information.
But if you take that same "smart" average modern dumbass back to colonial USA times and they would not know how to survive at all. They would be like "where's my cheeseburger? Where's my shower?" and just fucking die of bacterial infection from stubbing their toe probably. Those old dudes were building their own houses, farming their own food, writing long political essays and shit. They were out there inventing all the stuff we take for granted now.
And today there's more and more very well educated people around. Heck, compare the number of women that had access to university back then vs today.
Take the founding fathers and send them to today's world and they'll end up homeless.
My point is that they might have been very smart and educated back then, people like them exist today and there's much more of them, we just don't listen to them.
