Best Answer

In a republican form of government, elected representatives are responsible for the government operation and are also responsible to those citizens who elected them. The Founding Fathers did not establish a pure democracy within the Constitution of the United States. They provided for indirect democracy, or, a republic. The Founding Fathers were classical conservatives. They believed that democratic ideals would best be obtained by a governenment that was not dependent upon the daily whims of the population. The people would best be served by electing representatives who would uphold the framework of government set down in the Constitution.
