Our founding fathers chose democracy and free enterprise (not capitalism)

Our founding fathers chose democracy and free enterprise (not capitalism) to be the political and economic foundation for this country, and they did so as a deterrent against discontent and rebellion of the masses. They also did so because they knew it was for The People, the majority of people. They knew, maybe only instinctively, that if the people were given the ability to form their own destiny, they would be happy and not need to revolt violently.
