Majority and minority factions pose a danger to public welfare
What’s the problem? Have you ever stopped to think about that? Can you make decisions about supporting the U.S. Constitution without answering the question? Why was it thought to be a problem then? Is it still a problem today?

The American presidency is a political and constitutional institution. It has been one of the most successful features of our constitution in protecting the liberties of the American people. More than any other branch it has fulfilled the expectations of the framers.
Demonstrate?
