US Constitution designed to limit government, not promote democracy

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The U.S. Constitution, drafted in 1789, was intentionally designed to limit government power and protect individual liberties rather than to establish a democracy. The Founding Fathers were wary of majority rule and incorporated checks and balances between governmental branches to prevent tyranny. The document emphasizes the rule of law and restricts government actions, particularly concerning economic liberties, property, and contracts, a framework that largely persisted for about a century.
