Đọc bài này mới biết James Madison và John Adams, hai trong số các founding fathers của Mỹ, đã từng có những nghi ngại về thể chế dân chủ:
" James Madison, one of America’s founding fathers, feared that democracy would lead to “a rage for paper money, for an abolition of debts, for an equal division of property and for any other improper or wicked projects”. Similarly John Adams, the country’s second president, worried that rule by the masses would lead to heavy taxes on the rich in the name of equality."
