America: A Republic Against the Majority
-
Narrated by:
-
Written by:
The United States was founded on the claim that political power came from the people, yet its founders deeply distrusted an unchecked majority. The Declaration of Independence defended rights, consent, and the people’s authority to replace a tyrannical government. Madison proposed a large, representative, and federal republic to control factions and prevent majority tyranny. The separation of powers added further restraints on authority. Decades later, Andrew Jackson would demand fewer intermediaries and greater trust in the common man. This is the story of a republic built against kings, but also against the perceived dangers of popular rule.
