>…WAS IT A GOOD THING CORRUPTED OVER TIME?
My understanding is that the American lodges were relatively benign at the time the constitution was written but were "illuminized" not long after. George Washington was presented with a book called:
PROOFS OF A CONSPIRACY
https://www.conspiracyarchive.com/PROOFS_OF_A_CONSPIRACY_John_Robison.pdf
He commented on it with "It was not my intention to doubt that, the Doctrines of the Illuminati, and principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more truly satisfied of this fact than I am. ”

He went on to say the lodges were not completely overrun at that time but there was evidence it had begun. The Jesuits were suppressed for a time and went underground, forming the Illuminati under Weishaupt, a Jesuit professor of canon law. He feigned animosity with the Jesuits and started recruiting in Masonic Lodges. Later the Jesuits were restored by the papacy much to the dismay of founders like John Adams.
FROM JOHN ADAMS TO THOMAS JEFFERSON 9 August, 1816
My History of the Jesuits is not elegantly written, but is supported by unquestionable authorities, is very particular and very horrible. Their restoration is indeed “a step towards darkness,” cruelty, perfidy, despotism, death and—!

Their corruption of the Masonic orders was even commented on by a noted occultist.
It is curious to note too that most of the bodies which work these, such as the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, the Rite of Avignon, the Order of the Temple, Fessler's Rite, the "Grand Council of the Emperors of the East and West—"Sovereign Prince Masons," etc., etc., are nearly all the offspring of the sons of Ignatius Loyola. The Baron Hundt, Chevalier Ramsay, Tschoudy, Zinnendorf, and numerous others who founded the grades in these rites, worked under instructions from the General of the Jesuits. The nest where these high degrees were hatched, and no Masonic rite is free from their baleful influence more or less, was the Jesuit College of Clermont at Paris Helena Blavatsky, Isis Unveiled (Los Angeles, CA: The Theosophy Company, 1968): 390.
"The truth is, the Jesuits of Rome have perfected Freemasonry to be their most magnificent and effective tool, accomplishing their purposes among Protestants" - John Daniel, The Grand Design Exposed (Middleton, Idaho: CHJ Publishing, 1999): 302.
"If you trace up Masonry, through all its Orders, till you come to the grand tip-top, head Mason of the World, you will discover that the dread individual and the Chief of the Society of Jesus are one and the same person!" - James Parton (1855), as quoted in M. F. Cusack, The Black Pope (London: Marshall, Russell & Co., 1896): 76.
The higher degrees were written by the Jesuits which you can find evidence of in the linked PDF below.

The Masons are just another tool of the system identified in scripture as the anti (in place of) Christ power which is the Papacy. Rome pretends to be enemies of the Masons in official pronouncements but they work together behind the scenes. Sometimes even openly, as in the creation of Washington DC, which is built on land that used to be called Rome, Maryland (property donated by the Jesuits).
"He was a devout Roman Catholic as well as an ardent Freemason. His freedom of action was due to the fact that Roman Catholic Bishop Carroll, stated in a letter dated 1794, that the prohibitory Papal edicts would not be enforced in his diocese. Under Hoban's leadership, a number of Irish Catholics and Scotch Presbyterians organized Federal Lodge No. 1 in Washington, D.C. of which Bro. Hoban was the first Master. That Lodge participated in the laying of the cornerstone of the Capitol by Bro. George Washington. Bro. Hoban was also High Priest of the Royal Arch Chapter in 1799." https://limasons.blogspot.com/2006/09/bro-james-hoban-irish-catholic-mason.html
Georgetown University is a Jesuit institution and Jesuits dominate key positions in the US government. The CIA was formed and has been dominated by Knights of Malta like Donovan and Dulles (OSS to CIA handoff including the Nazi keystone from the Vatican Knight Reinhard Gehlen). By the time of Reagan, Catholics controlled all key staff positions. The Department of Homeland Security, born of the 911 Gladio B operation, has been Jesuit controlled from its inception. No one today bats an eye at Rome infiltrating and controlling US politics but it is not just a Church, it is a foreign power. It is a sovereign state, like Russia, or China and bent on global government.
