On this day in 1788, Alexander Hamilton spoke in favor of the (then) newly proposed U.S. Constitution. The Founders were not trying to create a *pure* democracy. Such democracies tend to implode because they devolve into rule by emotional mobs and bare majorities.
Our Constitution achieves something better: It allows us to be self-governing, but it also contains separation of powers and many checks and balances to protect our freedom. #BetterThanDemocracy #EnlightenedDemocracy
