As layed out in the constitution the US was never intended to be a Democracy. It was to be a Constitutional Republic. Many of our founding fathers were strongly against a populist government because they "Commit Suicide" as the result of the populatioin voting themselves things that belong to others. The Constituton was to rule over the will of the people in order to protect the individual from popular oppression.
