⬆⬆ Thank you for your brief, concise response. You act like the Framers existed in a vaccuum and had no knowledge or interest in the Greek model or other movements and forces contemporary and historical. At any given time a majority of voters might vote for referendums that deny the minority basic civil rights. How many lynch mobs carried out swift injustice? The Framers certainly did not entrust the fate of our nation entirely to the whim and caprice of the public. We have a Constitution and established checks and balances, coupled with representative democracy.
