The Founders did not envision an anti democratic US Senate where a determined minority could obstruct all nominations. The US Senate has been and still is our most undemocratic branch of Government. 40% representing 20% of the population can stop all legislative action. The founders did not envision this.


this is exactly what the founders envisioned. The founders wanted each state to maintain its identity and power with the federal government having a limited scope of power and responsibility.

the founders all believed that a hobbled government was a good government.
