Actually it was well known by the thought leaders of the 1780s that THE worst form of government is Democracy. Much of what Madison did in preparation for the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787 was to bring to the convention all the forms of government for the past 4,000 years. The worst form? Again - Democracy. That's why we live in a Constitutional Republic.

Here is a good example of Democracy:

Two wolves and a sheep vote on what is for dinner...

Democracy is too susceptible to demagoguery and emotion of the moment. Plus they are busy with their own lives, so they vote to hopefully elect someone they believe will focus and research items more thoughtfully. Our Founding Fathers rated monarchy as far more effective than democracy.
