Our founding fathers were completely against forming a democracy
7:77, they considered it to be mob rule. In our original set up all thirteen states only allowed though with enough property to vote or run for office. There originally most American citizens had no say so in our government, nor did Blacks, American Indians, Women. This is why against interpreting to Constitution according original intent by our founding fathers. Over time we have seen the need to move on from the original intent. Original Intent would get rid of change our later ancestors worked so hard to get, in some cases died for. Our original government was of the well of, by the well off and for the well off. We still protect financially and legally the well off far better than most people and punish most Americans legally and financially. So much for the idea of Equal Justice under the law.
