Question: Democracy, at its core, is centered on the idea that individuals can, in fact, rule themselves. This concept is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution as we know it today. However, early on the American Constitution was not a sound, democratic document. In particular, the idea of popular sovereignty; that is, the will of the people, was not extended to everyone. For example, the framers, for a time, chose to retain slavery in the new Republic. In addition to slavery, in what other areas was the Constitution of 1788 less than democratic? In what ways has the Constitution, since then, become more democratic? Be sure to provide examples to support your claims!
