<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>

Why did the authors of the Federalists Papers write using a pseudonym?

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

To find out the answer to this question, it is necessary to know beforehand who took part in The Federalist Papers and which was their pseudonym.

And, its members (of The Federalist Papers) were Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, all of them under the pseudonym of "Publius". Also, as quite important information, The Federalists Papers itself is more of a collection of eighty-five articles and essays.

Now, why did they use a pseudonym? Well, it was mostly because (around those times) it used to be common to publish articles under pseudonyms since it was believed that it helped the reader focus on the quality of the arguments rather than getting "sidetracked" on the reputation (of the arguer.)

Explanation:
