But keeping in mind that pure democracies are just tyrannies to be, having any minority put the breaks on majoritarianism is a good thing.

The goal is not to make a government that can act quickly to implement changes; the goal is to have a government that cannot.

IMHO, the way things were originally set up turned out to be fairly subversive. Imposing the views of a minority on the entirety of the population would have been tyranny; but the document contained mechanisms for long-term changes in the views of the majority to be reflected.
