<span>Certainly not. The United States has never, since its founding, consisted of a small number of citizens, still less of citizens that could practically assemble in one place at one time and debate their actions. A pure democracy in this classical Greek city-state sense was never practical, and was not seriously considered.
 
What the Framers created was a constitutional representative republic. Sovereignty is vested in the people, like a democracy (and unlike a constitutional monarchy), but the people do not rule directly. Instead, they elect representatives, at regular intervals, and these rule in the peoples' stead. Their powers are limited, first, by the fact that they are elected for only short terms, and must be re-elected if they wish to continue in power, and secondly, and much more importantly, by the Constitution itself, which puts express written limits on their powers even between elections.</span>

How do scholars know that Indo-Aryans raised cattle and depended upon their milk, but later turned to agriculture?
Talja [164]

The scholars know that the Indo-Aryans was once raised cattle and depended upon their milk but later turned to agriculture for they found evidence in the Vendidad where it shows the importance of sheep and cattle-rearing and their agricultural activities was considerably developed. These have been proved from careful comparison of a number of Vedic and Avesta words relating to agriculture.

Moreover, in most Vedic hymns, one can draw a conclusion that they settled down to a peaceful agricultural life and in the book of Atharva Veda, it contains the tradition of agriculture and that Prthi-Vainya was the inventor of ploughing.
