The Pluralist model of representative of democracy is what the Founding Father's would have wanted for America's Democracy. Why they would have wanted a pluralist government is due to James Madison and all of the other federalist supporting founding father's wanted a democracy in which there will be various factions to create and invent new ideas, laws, and diversity in their country to make all of the people in their country to be Representative and for each group to be equal in the government.

For the most part, the main reason behind the founding fathers wanting a pluralist government is due to the evidence provided in James Madison's Federalist paper #10. In Federalist #10, James Madison states that "Extend the sphere, and you take in a greater variety of parties and interests; you make it less probable that a majority of the whole will have a common motive to invade the rights of other citizens; or if such a common exists, it will be more difficult for all who feel it to discover their own strength, and to act in unison with each other"( Madison #10). This means that the Founding fathers, specifically James Madison, wanted to create a democracy in which their were many factions in order for them to compete against each other but by the end of wanting a law or right to be passed they need to cooperate and establish a consensus with each other and agree to a law or right that all of the groups would agree to. Which in turns lets all the diverse groups in the country to take part in and have equal opportunities to voice their own opinions on what law should be passed, what should be ratified, and how the state and national governments will be able to provide for the citizen's individual rights.

Another piece that supports the Pluralist Democracy for what the founding fathers wanted for the america democracy is in the Us Constitution with the first amendment. The US constitutions with the first amendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"(Amendment 1). This means that the US government will abide by and respect each and every religious faction in the nation as well as allowing the people to have the freedom to say, notify, gather, and come together to discuss and change any law or right that the government has passed. Which goes on with how the founding fathers wanted a pluralist democracy. They wanted this in order for each and every faction for any an all religious practices, races, and any other factions to have to ability to influence the government's ratification and laws in order for everyone in the country to have an equal standing in the countries government.
