Did the Constitution of 1787 Limit Democracy to Some Extent

One main way in which the constitution limited democracy is that it allowed slavery to go on. The founders knew that by fighting for their freedom yet, they still practiced slavery was an irony in the making. However, the creation of the constitution in 1787did make them to outlaw the practice. The practiced was ushered into a new nation, and now that it could not be ignored it had to be protected by the constitution. In this manner, the constitution restrained democracy as it allowed this undemocratic, unfair, inhumane and unjust practice to continue thriving. Instead, they have to vote for a representative who will vote for them (Dorf, 1998). However, the representatives are not required by the law to vote for what the people want.
