Who did Pericles let into the government?
The government was the assembly of the citizens. The council of 500 was drawn from the citizenry by drawing lot, and implemented the decisions of the assembly.

Was the Constitution written to be a self-consciously landmark document or was it simply a compilation of compromises?
Neither, the US Constitution was drafted to define the roll of government in both domestic and foreign affairs. The big problem was if the states would have primary power(confederation) over the affairs of its citizenry, or one central government(federal) would have all the power. Fearing a central government would eventually become corrupt and tyrannical, anti-federalist maintained a confederation of independent state rule was the most prudent. Federalist worried that independent states would be susceptible to the influences of foreign nations and potential enemies, or not pony up the taxes to pay off any debts incurred from war. Anti-federalists Jefferson yielded to a provisional federal government on terms that a bill of rights be affixed to insure the people were protected from a overly powerful central government. I mean since each of the signers bickered with Jefferson over details. But overall it was a statement. There were compromises between land owners and businessmen, states vs the federal government etc.
How would you evaluate your local government or the present federal government based on Jefferson standard?
Evaluating local or federal government based on Jefferson's standards involves assessing their commitment to individual rights, civic virtue, and the promotion of the common good. Jefferson emphasized the importance of an informed citizenry and the necessity of government to derive its power from the consent of the governed. If the government respects personal liberties, fosters civic engagement, and effectively addresses the needs of its constituents, it would align with Jeffersonian ideals. Conversely, a lack of transparency, accountability, or responsiveness would indicate a deviation from these foundational principles.
