There was little daylight in there minds as to the character and virtue required of the people to hold onto a working republic.
Trusting the modern majority of people in the USA to interpret the Constitution is rather foolish they have been deliberately ill educated for almost 100 years .
People calling our form of government as a democracy is just one symptom .
Thinking we can expect our elected officials to be more virtuous then those who elect them is another.
Focus, son, focus. Our constitutional interpretation is not majoritarian if you did not know that. It is done by the federal judiciary. For instance, the recent AZ law will be scrutinized by the federal judiciary, found wanting, be appealed to SCOTUS, which will overturn the state law.
See: that's how the system works.
