Democracy

1) The creators of Americas Political system were wealthy aristocrats, intellectuals, and power brokers of the colonial America, so the founding fathers feared literal democracy as a potential for "mob rule", which would give the people ultimate power and could result in taking the riches away from the wealthy, meaning they would be the ones who lose their wealth and be the ones who were most affected by the change.


2) The problem with the oligarchical representative republic is without a political system watching over society, greed would slowly coruppt the law and the political and economic legislative systems in ways that greatly benefit themselves and those who provide them funds and political favors.


3) The Status Quo works in the away that the people who endure the most hardships and are at the bottom of the chain need change. The people at the who are at the top of the chain and are of the elite minority, benefit most from the system, but will not do anything because they perfectly content with their lives. So the people who want and need can't do anything, because they can't get their voice heard, and the people who could do something and make other peoples lives better won't do anything. The system prevents any change and progress.


4) The author is saying that the government is falsifying our means of being secure and having power among us. He also says that we are not really a Democracy, the government just makes us think we are, because we have only a few features of Democracy and the government is using propaganda to drill the meaning of a Democracy into the minds of there society.
