真實原因與一般人被媒體或學校教育所得到的印象 恰恰相反!
美國的國父們(Founding Fathers); 並不信任民主選舉 !
他們認為:[民主可能帶來的混亂與無能 是比專制更大的罪惡]
例如: 當時他們家裡的婦女與買來的黑奴都完全沒有投票權
(美國國父們很多是奴隸主)
而要擁有財產或不動產才能擁有投票權 還曾經一度被考慮列入美國憲法條文裡
喬治華盛頓則是當時擁有最多土地的美國首富(可以想像他同時擁有多少奴隸)
關於美國開國元勳對民主的看法: (About Demo-Crazy)
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!"
~ Benjamin Franklin, leader of the American Revolution
"We are a Republican Government. Real liberty is never found in despotism or in the extremes of Democracy... It has been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity."
~ Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury to George Washington, author of the Federalist Papers
"Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide."
~ John Adams, 2nd President of the United States
"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."
~ Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States
Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found 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 death.
James Madison, 4th President of the U.S., Father of the Constitution.
"The experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating and short-lived."
~ John Quincy Adams, 6th President of the United States
"Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos."
~ John Marshall, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, 1801-1835
如有興趣認識[選舉多數決投票制]的先天不足性的科學證明可以參閱:

而想要破解[選舉多數決]先天不足性的方法:
竟然是菁英式的獨裁決策方式(也就是古人所謂的仁君 明君)
[水可載舟 水可覆舟]的中國農民社會之幾千年皇權制度能夠延續這麼久,
不是完全沒有它的科學基礎.而同樣來自農民社會中國文官制度裡的"士的階級",則是扮演著歷代皇權與農民社會之間的磨合劑.而這也讓我們瞭解到美國國父們在[民主之惡]與[獨裁之惡]兩者之間掙扎,試圖不斷尋找平衡點來制橫兩者的背後科學原因.
