Yes, and no. Voting rights were handled partly at the state level.At the time only the House of Representatives was a direct individual vote at the federal level. The President was handled by the Electoral College, and Senators at the time were elected not by popular vote but by the State governments themselves.

Correct. We really aren't the same country. SCOTUS itself acts far, far outside of its reach and POTUS doesn't even ask Congress for permission to launch wars anymore. The Founders wouldn't recognize America today.
