How does the Constitution limit democracy?

History
1 answer:
Nonamiya [84]4 years ago
6 0
The framers of the Constitution certainly placed limitations on the democratic process. While some of these limitations have been removed through the use of amendments, others remain in place to the present day.

One of the most notable, and enduring, limitations lies in the Electoral College, used to elect the president of the United States. Keep in mind, private citizens do not actually vote for candidates, they vote for electors. On a state-by-state basis, citizens elect an elector who will then cast a vote in favor a given candidate. The framers of the Constitution tended to distrust direct democracy, which they feared would devolve into mob rule.

As a second example (and one which has been changed by way of constitutional amendment), senators were originally selected by the state legislatures rather than by popular election.

As one last example, consider the entire legislative process, as well as the systems of checks and balances that it aims to maintain.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

<em>By increasing volume of trade and also increasing the geographical range of preexisting and newly active trade networks.</em>

It also facilitated the discovery and usage of new trade routes which would otherwise not be passable due to previous transportation technologies.

Though they are rare today, the most common form of rule in world history has been : (monarchy/dictatorship)
LuckyWell [14K]

The most common form of rule in world history has been monarchy (from the Greek <em>monos</em>, "one," and <em>arche</em>, "power"). It is an unipersonal, hereditary and lifelong form of government. The Head of State is the king (or queen), the prince or the emperor. Although monarchy was at first absolute (the ruler had absolute or total power), it then evolved into a limited form (the ruler needed the help of the most powerful members of society) and finally into a constitutional form (the ruler is primarily a symbolic figure and the nation is governed by a parliament).

At present, the monarchy is the form of government of a few countries around the world, such as Spain, England, Japan and Denmark, to name a few.
