However, Mark Levin, a renowned conservative commentator, offers a different perspective. He reminds us that the Founding Fathers of America were not proponents of democracy, but rather, republicanism.
According to The Blaze, Levin asserts, "[Our Founding Fathers] didn't support democracy; they supported republicanism.” He explains that democracy can lead to factional takeovers or majority tyranny, a situation the Founding Fathers had observed in other nations and wanted to avoid. "They wanted republicanism; they wanted checks in power,” Levin emphasizes.
The Founding Fathers enshrined certain principles in the Constitution to prevent the majority from voting away the rights of the minority. Levin states, “you can't have people vote away your rights.” He further adds, “If 90% of them don't think you should have the right to bear arms, that's too damn bad.”

Levin praises the Founding Fathers for their foresight in anticipating the potential pitfalls of a pure democracy and for creating a balanced system of governance. He declares, “they were geniuses.” He also applauds their establishment of the Electoral College, a mechanism he believes is crucial for the nation's protection.

Despite calls from individuals like Tim Walz for the abolition of the Electoral College, Levin maintains its importance. He explains, “You choose a President not through a direct election” but through an “Electoral College. Why?” He answers, “One person is the head of an entire branch; we can't just leave it up to a popular vote” because then “the cities will choose the President.”

Levin further elucidates, “In order to have a union and in order to make sure every aspect of the society was represented, they came up with this brilliant Electoral College.” This system ensures that populous states like California do not overshadow smaller states like Montana, Wyoming, or Idaho. “If you had a national popular vote, that’s what [California] would do,” warns Levin.

Levin also highlights the novelty of the Founding Fathers' system, where “the President [is] chosen by the people through the Electoral College but not chosen by the legislature.” This, along with the concept of “staggered terms” and a “bicameral congress,” was groundbreaking at the time. “So the accumulation of power, the centralization of government is limited,” Levin concludes.
