> Insert long discussion here about how nobody wanted a democracy in the U.S. It was never a goal and it was feared by the founders I wouldn’t say exactly they didn’t want it... but they definitely feared it. The presidency was also not directly elected, and now we’re dealing with that and the idiocy of the electoral college. At least that one seems more feasible to fix, as the states themselves can decide how to allocate their electoral members. I do wonder if the equal protections clause could be a mechanism to force a rebalancing of the constitutional senate allocation. I’m no lawyer, but it seems they they could be in conflict with each other.
