The founders explicitly rejected pure democracy as a national model of government, enshrining the current Republican form instead (as distorted and as far removed from its original concept as it may now be). The spectacle that is Judge Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing reinforces their fears that pure democracy is little more than government by mob rule.

Some quotes from several of the founders to support this:

Thomas Jefferson: "A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine."

John Adams: “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself.”

James Madison wrote that: pure democracies “have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”
