What were the feelings of the authors of the Constitution towards about democracy?
I think all of them were afraid of a democracy. Please read "The Federalist Papers" by Hamilton, Madison, and Jay. It explains the thoughts of the framers of the Constitution very well. They more or less believed that a democracy would destroy the United States, as many of us believe today. The saying, "Once those who have little or no money discover that they can vote themselves more money and property, the government is doomed," (or something very similar), it becomes obvious how destructive a democracy really is.

Plato believed that democracy allowed for rule by the ignorant masses, leading to instability and mob rule.
