      Alexander Hamilton and his whole cadre were often pretty explicit about keeping poor people away from power

      Washington sent troops to the frontier to stop the Whiskey rebellion

      Do they count? Their document nevertheless started with "We the people"

          This guy maybe? Renamed a bunch of things with the names of himself and his family members, including the word for bread. Got a gold statue of himself built. Put himself on the money and made his autobiography required reading in schools. He still talked up the need for democracy as far as I know, but didn't seem very good at masking that it was a weird dictatorship.
