Democracies tend to devolve into either tyranny or anarchy, since as soon as voters realize they can vote to take others' property without earning it, the sinful greed rises up and they do it. When elected leaders pull this, it ends up being tyranny. When everyone figures this out, it's anarchy. This is why the Founding Fathers gave us a representative republic. We have not had a true Representative Republic since the House of Representatives was limited to 435 members, the original ratio was 1 Representative to 40,000 voters.

This was around 1911, just in time for the Federal Reserve.
If today each representative was to represent 40,000 people, we would have over 10x the representatives. They could do their meetings via internet so there is not a limit representatives can have to conduct business.
