One of the major concerns and experiences of the Founders was that of rule by the mob. During the early to mid-1700's, England was rocked by large riots and mob rule. The Founders were very concerned that direct democracy could easily lead to anarchy and rule by mobs. As a result, they established our system of indirect democracy and our bicameral legislative structure. Moreover, prior to the enactment of the 17th Amendment, Senators were selected by the state legislatures - not popular vote. Again, this was to blunt the impact of the mob on our indirect democracy.

The founding fathers believed that the average citizen was not intelligent enough to understand the complexities of government. They believed that a representative democracy was a better alternative and believed that the people would elect the brightest among them to be their representative.

Most of the founders were Aristocrats. Some of them were secret society members, freemasons. They were slaves of their own wealth. They cared more to maintain and expand their own wealth than they cared about the rest of The People of the nation. There was even an agent of Rothschild's banking cartel who was involved in forming the government and was the Secretary of the Treasury under the first President. That man, Alexander Hamilton, cared so much to impress his master Rothschild, at the expense of The People of the USA, that he lobbied to have Rothschild's London Bank, made The First Bank of the USA. The USA has broken out from under Rothschild's banksterism only a few times since, President Jackson's last words were "I killed the bank." He was happy about that. Abraham Lincoln captured from Rothschild's Central Bank the power to print money during the Civil War. John F. Kennedy signed an executive order which deleted the power of Rothschild's banking syndicate to print money and gave that power to the congress. All 3 of those Presidents were either assassinated, or an attempt to assassinate them was made. So, that's why they sold us out, that they implemented this demonic government that feels at ease to abuse the citizens of the USA, in spite of the Bill of Rights, which was notably an initiative demanded by The People. The Constitution was at risk of failing ratification. George Mason and Thomas Jefferson on behalf of The People. Many of The People recognized The Constitution was a foot in the door for tyranny, granting superior power to a clique of power brokers, right to tax, right to raise armies, the right for congress to operate in secret and a bunch of other nonsense. So, they thought they had some fool proof laws, that if the government was to sway tyrannical, it would be held in check. As it has been, This US Federal Government has always been an implement of tyranny. They're just usually very selective with who they're trying to put it on at 1 time. Of course the nation was born infected with slavery, then there was the crushing of Shay's Rebellion and the Whiskey Rebellion. Then it was on to thieving natives land and genocide. Then it was a few foreign escapades, sacrificing the lives of US boys for war profit. Then it was injustice heaped on freed slaves. Then it was injustice of the Robber Barons permitted. Then it was murderous union busting. Then it was war on whiskey owners. Then it was racial discrimination. Then it was crackdown on antiwar movement. Then it was FBI murdering Native Americans. Then it was the war on drugs while the CIA sold crack to inner city black youths. Now the government is cracking down on everybody who recognizes their corruption and has more than $5 to their name. Which is virtually everybody. There's 2 NSA whistle blowers who are on the record stating that the NSA is recording every digital communication in America. That tells you the extent to which they're targeting American citizens, they're targeting EVERYBODY. Usually they're not so froggy to jump to starting with everybody. They've listed the enemies of the state as being, Christians, Constitutionalists, Libertarians, Left Wingers, Right Wingers, Patriots, Animal Rights Activists, any kind of activist, even activist nuns are fair game for them. The only people they're not targeting very obviously is their security tools, but when the nuke war goes off and it's going to be every man for himself and the one with the most drones wins. From the history I listed you should recognize that it's always about some minority group, that they target 1 type of person that society at large will not likely spend the effort to defend. This aggression against everybody tells that they're nearing readiness to launch global thermal nuclear war, in a rash attempt to depopulate Earth to near extinction. That's the only way they're going to fight everybody at once and that's the war they've declared, war on everybody.

Who were the foudning fathers of America?

Although most of the Founding Fathers were natives of the thirteen colonies, eight of the delegates were born in a different country. Ireland is the homeland of Butler, Fitzsimons, McHenry, and Paterson. Davie and Robert Morris were born in England. Wilson was native of Scotland and Hamilton of the West Indies. Once reaching the United States, many men moved from state to state, reflecting the mobility that has always characterized American life. In fact, sixteen individuals had lived or worked in more than one state or colony. Several others had traveled or studied abroad. About half of the Founding Fathers had attended or graduated from college in British North American colonies or abroad. Some men even held advanced and honorary degrees. For the most part, the delegates were a well-educated group enjoying the mobility of America.
