Our Founding Fathers had every chance to establish a democracy and yet they went out of their way to not only not do so but wrote into the constitution that it would never happen. Article 4, Section 4 requires that "each state maintain a republican form of government" - as opposed to a "democratic" one.
A simple democracy is the devil's own government. -Benjamin Rush, Founding Father
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. -John Adams, Founding Father
When asked what form of government the Constitutional Convention had given the people, Benjamin Franklin stated, "A Republic, if you can keep it."
We obviously seem to be doing a lousy job lately of "keeping it".
