Talk:Anti-Democratic Thought

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I would appreciate anyone who is able to add the arguments against democracy by Aristotle or other Greek philosophers as well as the Founding Fathers. Though they often supported democracy they criticized the rule of the poor and ignorant as leading to totalitarian governments that invade personal liberties. This is evidenced by the Founding Fathers creation of a constituional republic over a direct democracy. While not full rejections these are important criticism. I have confidence that someone can clean up my points and find proper references from primary sources like the Federalist papers and add a coherent and beneficial addition to this article Rockydragon6 05:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
