The United States Constitution was adopted so that we would be a republic not a democracy. Our founding fathers used the netherlands as an example and decided to safeguard against the ailments of a democracy by creating a republic. (originally a confederation)
A democracy is not fair and it allows for poor people to have to much power in voting which then allows Gov't to take advantage of their voting power by manipulating uneducated peoples.
Democracy never works; people always vote to give themselves charity. like a kid in a candy store: they do not know any better but to steal the lolipops; without forseeing the consequences of their actions.
California is a perfect example of a democracy failing, in 1978 they adopted the direct ballot initiative, allowing people to directly vote on policies and what happens: poor people voting for wellfare while allowing no way to pay for these wellfare services.
To-the-point. Over time our gov't and state representation has grown in power while our protection, The supreme court, has remained unexpanded thus molding us into a democracy. An unconstitutional gov't.
Voting should have requirements and the rights of the people should be protected; not dictated by gov't manipulation of the voter. (includes state gov't)
