         When the Founding Fathers envisioned their new nation, they saw a land of freedom and people with the power to influence their government. The government in which they desired most relates to a Pluralist Democracy for the fact that a large republic brings in many more people with many varying views and that with many people being represented, the government would compromise over issues and protect all parties no matter how powerful they are.
         The vision for democracy very much resembles a Pluralist Democracy. In Federalist 10, Publius states, "Extend the sphere, and you take in a greater variety of parties an interests;". This supports the idea that a Pluralist Democracy is most like the democracy the Fathers saw for the fact that they wanted many political factions in order to keep a majority down to help better even the odds of the importance of opinions and views. In Federalist 51, the author states that, "parties be gradually induced, by a like motive, to wish for a government which will protect all parties,". This connects to the fact that a Pluralist Democracy calls for equal representation of viewpoints and that everyone should somewhat have what they want by way of compromise. This is very similar to what the Founding Fathers wished for their government to be.
        Hundreds of years ago the Founding Fathers wanted their country to be Democratic and fair land. They've come pretty close, but a Pluralist Democracy is the best way to describe the government they had hoped for. It has many factions which makes i very hard for a majority to from and that many views are represented and protected. It was no bulls eye but a Pluralist Democracy was a solid 8.
