They included an amendment process, which implies they realized they may have made a mistake or two to be corrected. Benjamin Franklin was against copyrights. Bach and Shakespeare somehow created without copyright protections, not to mention Homer.

This is the creation of limited monopolies, isn't it? There's a difference of degree between "you and your kids get to enjoy a monopoly on your creation for the next X years" X=10 vs "you and your kids get to enjoy a monopoly on your creation for the next X years" X=100.
