Yale professor Timothy Snyder recently did a Ted Talk where he asserted that democracy should be a verb, something that you do. He asserts, “democracy has to be understood as a spirit.” He appears to believe that the more democracy the better. Then why did the Founders include limitations on democracy in the Constitution? In this podcast the Edifice of Trust host, Victor Bolles, examines what Professor Snyder asserted in his Ted Talk and investigates why the Founders had their doubts about democracy.
