<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>
To protect their national language and heritage.
Language is a key part of culture, and in an increasingly globalized world, countries will seek to preserve their national language to prevent it from being lost. According to the Linguistic Society of America, there are over 5,000 spoken languages in the world today, but many of those languages are considered "endangered," meaning they may be lost in favor of the more commonly spoken languages in the world.
Incidentally, China is an interesting example. Though the Chinese government made standard Mandarin the official language of the country in 1956, there are over 50 ethnic groups and nearly 300 language dialects present in expansive territories of China. The <span>Uyghur language is spoken by about 11 million people in China, for instance. Hmong language is spoken by nearly 3 million people worldwide, most of whom are in China. So while China has an official policy endorsing the Mandarin language, there are also many, many other language groups trying to preserve their own culture and heritage within China.</span>
