The framers gave us what they called a republic, but by a republic they meant a representative democracy, and by a representative democracy, they meant a government, as Madison put it in Federalist 52, that would have a branch that would be dependent upon the people alone.
Themeluesit na dhane ate qe ata quanin Republike, por me republike ata kuptonin demokraci perfaqesuese, dhe me demokraci perfaqesuese, ata kuptonin nje qeveri, sic Madison vendosi ne Federate 52-in, ajo do te kishte nje dege qe do te varej nga njerzit vetem.
