What were the views of the delegates to the convention on democracy and equality according to Beard?

I have never read anything, or even heard of, Beard's views on what the constitutional authors thought of a Democracy. The authors of the Constitution expressed themselves publicly to everyone who would listen, and Beard's views are irrelevant on the subject as he was not an Author or debater of the constitution; being born 100 years after it was written and debated. Those men who wrote the constitution specifically stated, even Jefferson stated, that the United States was formed as a Representative Republic and not a Democracy (several quotes from the Federalist Papers).
