If not by democracy, then how do former subjects of a monarchy ensure freedom?

Alexander Hamilton wrote,

"We are now forming a republican form of government. Real liberty is not found in the extremes of democracy . . . .

If we incline too much to democracy, we shall soon shoot into a monarchy, or some other form of dictatorship."

With that qoute I understand more why the left hates our Founding Fathers so much.

It is interesting to play on Alexander Hamilton's words and note the similarity in meaning . . . change republican to "REPUBLICAN" (as in GOP) and democracy to "DEMOCRATS" (as in DEMONrats). Our founding fathers had it right from the beginning!
