WOW!!!
How badly did you fail US History and Government?
The founders did not start a pure republic or a pure democracy. They started a Representative Democratic-Republic. The original intent was to take pieces of the early Roman and Greek political systems and create a balance.
The founders understood that a democracy would be overbearing requiring citizens to vote on every single action. It would be tumultuous and short-lived. They also realized that the original Roman republic was appointed by only a few powerful citizens and fell to corruption and eventually tyranny. So they blended the two. We democraticly vote for representatives to handle our republic.
I also don't understand how you could be so STUPID about the history of political parties. The Republican party DID NOT even exist at the framing of the Constitution.
