There is a house for both the small states and the big ones.
The first ten amendments to the Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights, describes the power and rights of American citizens. These amendments, ratified in 1791, reflect the belief of the framers of the Constitution in the principle of limited government. The Amendments place strict limits on how the national government can use its power over the people.
Both reflect ideas of Enlightenment thinkers. :)
The Holocaust did not reflect US society; it occurred in Eastern Europe, far from US soil, and was perpetrated by a completely different government.
There are several features of the Constitution that indicate distrust of popular government. These include the election of the president by the Electoral College, the fact that judges are appointed for life, and the selection of senators by state legislatures. Voting requirements were left to the states, which imposed property requirements. These requirements reflect a distrust popular government, because citizens could vote directly only for members of the House of Representatives-the lower house, which has a two-year term of office. In addition, property requirements prevented many citizens from voting at all. One must also know that the framers evaded the issue of voting altogether, giving this right to the states. Also, the framers distrusted the common people because the masses were uninformed, easily swayed, and lacked long term thinking. It was felt that participation by the common people would result in a true democracy being unstable, would shift positions frequently, and would suffer from the lack of long-term thinking.

The Founders established a Constitutional Republic.
Nothing in the constitution shows a distrust of democracy. In fact, the very foundation of the constitution is based on the philosophy of democracy. The men who wrote it didn't trust that people could vote and make correct decisions about the government.
The Constitution had to change with them. In order to be a working document, it had to be changed to reflect what was going on -- they knew, for instance, that slavery was someday going to be abolished, but they knew it was going to be for several generations.
The government only has the powers given to it by the Constitution.
how is republicanism reflected in both the u.s. and the texas constitution?
It didnt
Because the US government was set up to be run by the people through representatives, rather than as a dictatorship, so they wanted the wording of the constitution to reflect that.
