When the founders of our great nation debated what form our federal government should take they agreed that it should not be a democarcy. They understood that a democracy was nothing more than mob rule. By ratifying the United States Constitution they instead created the government as a representative republic.
The purpose of the constitution is to protect the rights of the people and limit the powers of the federal government. Sadly, most Americans do not understand this.
