Why did the Founding Fathers distrust democracy?
As they say, "A direct democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner." I like that in a representative republic, you let some chosen by the most people go to the capital and do research on things, meet with other representatives, and decide your future based on the expertise that they get that simply is not available to all of us citizens.

Where the founding fathers Democrats?
No. The political parties Democratic and Republican hadn't been devised back then. However they did believe that the "demos" (Latin for "people") should decide on their leaders and laws, to an extent. But they also knew that letting the people decide everything directly could lead to chaos and a "tyranny of the majority". That's why our system has things that restrict the limits of majorities, such as the Electoral College, the Senate and the filibuster.
