Some members of each party believe a) it is not going to work b) could make things worse or c) there are better plans. If all Democrats voted for the plan, and all Republicans voted against, it would pass with 235 votes. But voting did not go exactly by party. In the House vote, approximately 60% of Democrats, and 30% of Republicans were in favor of the plan.

What are the disadvantages of democratic governments?
Note that most governments are only 'representative democracies'. In a democratic government, the majority can trample the rights of the minority. Agreeing on things can be slow, and often little can be done due to deadlocks. The style of government causes many people to look out for their own interests ahead of the country's interests, because often no one else will look after their own interests. The majority is not always right. Public opinion can often be swayed by catastrophic events. Thus the public might at one moment do things which are not necessarily in it's own best interests. Communication is not equal, so those who can afford better communication tools can have more influence. Sustained media campaigns can influence opinions. Democracy is often inefficient, and change is usually slow. There may be less government accountability to be responsible for one's own actions, as that is what the majority wanted. Politicians are less likely to oppose the majority opinion even if the minority opinion is the right or more wise decision for the long term. The public is generally interested more in short-term solutions than long-term.

What was the price after the huge sellout bailout?
No one really knows. The plan is open ended as the assets that the Treasury may buy and the terms associated with these assets can not be spelled out ahead of time. The Treasury will need to unravel some of the more complex debt obligation in order to assess their value. Also, the assets acquired may be sold later, so the net cost is uncertain.

Did roman kings have to contend with an assembly of nobles?
The senate was composed of patricians, the aristocrats. However, some historians think that some non-patricans also sat in the senate. The senate was the king's advisory body. There is no record of conflict between the senate and the king for the first four kings. The fifth king doubled the size of the senate and there may have been concerns among the senators as a distinction of rank was created between the old and new senators. However, the reform went ahead. The senate was said to have opposed the succession of the sixth king. This king drummed up popular support counter the senate and had himself elected as king by the popular assembly despite the opposition of the senate. He also made reforms which may have weakened the position of the senators. The seventh king seized power with a coup d' etat and was a tyrant. He turned against the senate because it could be a source of opposition and decimated the senators. His tyranny led to a rebellion which overthrew the monarchy and established the republic.
