The framers were quite aware of what they were doing by building a republic instead of a democracy. Tyrannical majorities, especially when it’s a slight majority, are dangerous things. Democracy in general is dangerous. It’s 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for lunch. The federal government is too big imo and people forget the country was built to be a federation of states which citizens could freely move around to and trade with. I think we would be better served to delegate more power back to the individual states. The commerce clause has to be the most abused piece of law in this country.
