That's right folks. The United States was supposed to be a Constitutional REPUBLIC, not a democracy. THINK about what a democracy REALLY is. It is a means of having to live with and under the rules and laws created by a majority and that majority may not be those whom you believe to be good people with you and your fellow citizens best interest at heart. If you are a U.S. citizen look around you. Look at the laws and regulations that have been passed that have taken many of our rights away and promoted or allowed immoral actions like abortions, same-sex marriage, take place. DID you vote for someone who would not approve of these things and not have voted such laws into place?? Let's say you did, but they did not get elected and the person that represents your district who does approve of these immoral actions and laws got elected because apparently most of the people in your district do approve of these things. Now, you and those who do not approve of these things will have to live under those laws. Sooooooo, how is democracy working out for you now???

They very much feared the development of the Robin Hood mentality we are seeing today – soak the rich and give to the poor. It is a democratic drift toward socialism. Such a program as the proposed "Universal Healthcare" is a prime example.
The fear had good basis. Our Founders were all knowledgeable people, and all knew and discussed how all prior democracies ended in disastrous failures – one of the most well known being that of Athens, Greece. As stated by Paul Gagnon:
You can read the rest and other articles from that are offered here..American history reaches way back—to the texts of Judaism and Christianity, to the glory and failure of democracy in Athens, to Rome, Feudal times, and more. To explain our values, history classes need to reach back, too. ...."
