Which is why a democratic republic (which we were supposed to be originally) is a better answer. "Pure" Democracy isn't convenient with very large groups (country sized), and is just as subject to power plays (Two wolves and a sheep voting for lunch). Whereas the representative republic is supposed to equal a lot of that up, to ACTUALLY be more "democratic" and not so blown about by the winds of popularity and trends.
