Portions ofthe [people] once largely excluded from the exercise of power were now among the people’s governors. Efforts to rein in the egalitarian impulse had faltered.... [But] democracy’s achievements were fragile...and its future far from guaranteed....  \n[After 1800,] by beating back [the Federalists], the Jeffersonian ascendency opened up the political system.... The filters on democracy created by the Framers [of the Constitution] were proving porous, while the suppression of democracy sought by the Federalists in the 1790s was thoroughly discredited.”  \nSource: Sean Wilentz, historian, The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln, 2005  \nSource 2  \n“[After the American Revolution] elite men from [many] states...create[d] a new national government designed to be a stronger barrier against democracy.... Ordinary folk continued to resist.... But they remained unable to mobilize in ways that would bring the changes they wanted    \nIt would be an enduring victory for the elite. Although the Federalists both fell politically and personally, the system they created to check democracy has lasted.... Although the DemocraticRepublicans rode to power...across the nation by promising to restore the popular vision of the Revolution,...most Democratic-Republican leaders...were content to leave the bulk of the Federalist system in place.... To these men,‘reform’...did not mean pulling down the barriers to democracy that they had helped to create.”  \nSource: Terry Bouton, historian, Taming Democracy: “The People,” the Founders, and the Troubled Ending of the American Revolution, 2007  \n1: equal  \n1.
