RMiddle RAges, Rgovernment Rwas R largely Rused R to R facilitate Rreligion Rand

Rmaintained Rthe Rneed Rfor Rthe Rindividual Rto R live Ra Rproper Rlife R in Rthe Rservice

Rof RGod. RThe Rrole Rof Rgovernment Rchanged Rin Rthe R early Rsixteenth R century Rby

Rdownplaying Rthe Rrole Rof Rreligion Rwhile Ralternatively R promoting Rthe Rrole R of

Rlimited Rgovernment Rto Rprotect Rprivate Rproperty Rand R individual Rrights.



Q2 How Rshould Rgovernment Rbe Rdesigned Rto Rachieve Rits Rpurposes?

A2 According Rto RPlato Rthe Rphilosopher-king’s Rwisdom Rand Rintellect Rwould Rpromote
R order, Rstability Rand Rjustice. RYet, RAristotle Rtakes Ra Rmore Rrealistic Rview Rof

RAthenian R society Rby Radvocating Rthe Rbest Rform Rof Rgovernment Ras Ra Rpolity,

Rwhich Rcombined R oligarchic Rand Rdemocratic Relements Rto Rproduce Rpolitical

Rstability. RThe RRomans R combined Rmonarchical, Raristocratic, Rand Rdemocratic

Q3 What Rlessons Rabout Rgovernment Rdid Rcolonial RAmericans Rdraw Rfrom Rthe Rhistory
Rofancient RGreece R and R Rome?



A3 Plato Rwas Rsuspicious Rof Rdemocracy’s Rrule Rof Rthe Rmany Rbecause Rgood
Rgovernment R would Rdecay Rinto Rmob Rrule. RHence, Rthe Rpassions Rof Rthe Rmasses

Rneeded Rto Rbe R quelled R by Rmore Raristocratic Relements. RWith Rthis Rproblem Rin

Rmind, Rthe RFramers Rofthe RU.S. R Constitution Rreferenced Rthe Rinstitutional Rdesign Rof

Rthe RRoman Rrepublic Radhered Rto R the Rtradition Rof Rmixed Rgovernment Rinitially

Rexpounded Rby RAristotle R and Rthe RRomans. R This Rwas Rmaintained Rin Rthe Rindirect

Rselection Rof Rboth Rthe RSenateand Rthe Rpresidency R within Rthe RConstitution.

RAristotle Ralso Radvocated Rmixing R aristocratic Rand Rdemocratic R elements Rin Ra

Rgoverning Rstructure Rcalled Ra Rpolity. RIn Reffect, Rthis Rgovernmental Rdesign

R allowed Rthe Rfew Rand Rthe Rmany Rto Rparticipate Rin Rthe Rpolitics Rproviding Ran

Rorderly R society Rwhere Rthe Rpoor Rshould Rbe Rable Rto Rselect R government Rofficials

Rwho Rwere Rheld R accountable. RThis Rwas Ralso Rmade Rmanifest Rinthe RConstitution

Rwith Rits Raristocratic-like R Senate Rand Rthe Rmore Rdemocratic RHouse R of

RRepresentatives. RThus Rthe RAmerican R republic’s RConstitution Restablished

R institutional Rpowers Rto Rgovern Raccording Rto Rthe R rule Rof Rlaw. RWhile Rthe

RFramers Rrejected Rthe Rreligious Rhierarchy Rof Rthe RMiddle RAges, R they Rappealed

Rto Rinalienable Rrights Rendowed Rupon Revery Rindividual Rby RGod, Rper Rthe R writings

Rof RJohn RLocke, Rin Rwhich Ra Rjust Rgovernment Rand Rsociety Rcould Rnot Rbe R impeded.

A4 Individuals Rimmigrated Rto Rthe Rcolonies Rto Rescape Rreligious Rpersecution Rand Rcivil
R unrest Rafter Rthe REnglish RCivil RWar Rand Rto Rpursue Rsocial Rand Reconomic

R opportunities. R Colonists Renjoyed Ra Rvast Rarray Rof Rnatural Rresources Rand Ra

Rlarge R geographical Rarea R where Rfreedom Rof Rreligion Rand Reconomic

Ropportunity R flourished. RAlso, Rtheir R heterogeneous Rsocial Rcomposition Ras Rwell Ras

Rcontinual R promotion Rof Rideals, Rsuch Ras R equality Rand Rtolerance, Rtended Rto

Rpromote Rpolitical Rfreedom Rat Rthe Rsame Rtime Rthat R social Rexpansion Rof Rthe

Rpopulation Rwas Roccurring.



Q5 What Rdid Rdemocracy Rmean Rto Rour Rcolonial Rancestors, Rand Rdid Rthey Rapprove Rit?

A5 The Rcolonists Rwere Rskeptical Rof Rdemocracy Rand Rviewed Rthis Rtype Rof R governing
R authority Ras Rmob Rrule. RSociety Rwas Rlargely Rseen Ras Rsegmented Rinto Rthose Rwho

R should R rule Rand Rthose Rwho Rshould Rnot. RIn Rfact, Rthe RFounders Rbelieved Rthat Rthe

R elite R(well- R educated, Rland Rowners) Rshould Roccupy Rpositions Rof Rleadership.

RThus, R an Raristocratic R element Rwithin Rgovernment Rwas Rnecessary Rto Rprotect

Ragainst Rthethreat Rof Rmob Rrule R historically Rassociated Rwith Rdemocracy.

RFundamentally, Rthe Ridea Rof Rrepublicanism R was Rpromoted Ras Ran Rideal Rat Ra

Rhigher Rlevel Rthan R democracy. RThis Rwas Rmade Rmost R manifest Rin Rthe Rtendency Rto
