| 46. Yeah, democracy also threatens the elite in power |

by keeping the franchise low at the founding of the country, those in power were able to prevent social reform. This cry against "democracy" I heard it on the right wing radio stations I used to monitor. Seems if the people are given too much power over their own lives and wise up to what's going on the 1% at the top who control things might be in trouble. Policy might be made more for the people's benefit than the elite's benefit.
