Why might the Founding Fathers best be described as Founding Brothers?
They can be referred to as Founding Brothers because they had relationships, good or bad, friendly or unfriendly, politically agreable or disagreeble, with one another, just the way brothers in the same family do. We refer to the Founding Fathers as Fathers, because they are from generations before us, whereas, amongst themselves they were of the same generation. And they had their fights just ans brothers do. I recommend the book "The Founding Brothers" by Joseph J. Ellis for interesting accounts of the political and personal interactions between several Founding Fathers. Examples are Jefferson and Adams, how their friendship turned sour over political differences, especially as Jefferson and Madison worked behind the scenes to unseat Adams as president, even though Jefferson was Adams' vice-president. Once they were both out of politics they revived their friendship. George Washington and the Republicans under James Madison and how they tried to undermine Washington at the end of his second term. The deal between Madison and Hamilton whereby the nation's capital would be located in a southern state (Madison's desire) in return for the US adopting the debts of the individual states (Hamilton's desire), which was made possible by Thomas Jefferson inviting both of them to dinner at his house. And the Great Silence, as Ellis puts it, whereby the Framers of the Constitution realized there would be no agreement on abolishing slavery, so they wrote the Constitution in such a way that it forbade Congress from doing anything to act on slavery for twenty years.

Do the founding fathers of the constitution deserve the reverence Americans have traditionally given them why?
The founding fathers could have been arrested for treason anytime up until Britain recognized their country. Many did lose family, lands and business due to their involvement in trying to start the new country. Some ended up living away from their families for years, due to the work they were doing. Another reason for admiration is the depth of knowledge and thought they brought to writing the constitution and the Bill of Rights.
