the Constitution is designed to limit popular power
The Constitution was designed to limit popular power in the [[United States]]. The founders were absolutely terrified of popular power in any meaningful sense, and believed in a republic of landowners first and foremost. Institutions like the [[Electoral College]] and the great difficulty to amend the Constitution show that the founders did not want anything resembling [[democracy]], or so-called βmob rule.β
