Answer:
Because it cannot control the mischief of factions
Explanation:
James Madison was against the tenets of democracy. He rather advocated for a republican government. He described democracy as a system where a small number of citizens assemble and administer the government in person. He believed that democracy cannot control the mischiefs of factions because of the localized way in which the government was run. He believed that the government was too close to the people and that democracy struggled for equality which he believed was for the selfish interests of the ruling democrats.
He said that a faction consisted of individuals who were united in some goals that were adverse to the rights of citizens. Too much liberty would fan the flames of faction, and that was what democracy did according to him.
The Founding Fathers created the U.S. government to have numerous checks and balances as well as a VERY limited central (federal) government. They did this to prevent a relapse of the tyranny (hence “absolute power”) they dealt with under the British Empire. The American colonies were essentially meant to serve the mother nation (Britain), but the colonists braved the journey to America to establish a new, freer nation with religious freedom as its top priority.
To prove this quote is still relevant today, it’s not unknown that when humans acquire power, it’s very easy for them to abuse that power. Examples of this would be the oligarchies we see in Russia and China with a very small amount of people in power living in a lap of luxury while everyone else lives a subpar life.
