DEMOCRACY IS NOT A PANACEA

 As John Adams noted, no democracy had survived more than a short time before committing suicide. 
As he also wrote, “A democracy is like two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.” 
Under pure democracies, the rights of minorities tend to get ignored or trampled upon. 
To ultimately be a nation of “justice for all,” the Founders knew we had to be a constitutional republic where The Constitution was “the supreme law of the land.”
