The United States is not a Democracy or even a "Representative" Democracy. Its institutions are relatively Democratic.
Universal sufferage was never intended in the Constitutional Compromise. During the 1st 50 years, this dramatically changed. With the exception of women, slaves and indians, sufferage was universal for all above age 21.
I love it when kids set up booths with petitions to end "Womens Sufferage" and most people sign the petition. These people should be stripped of their voting privileges.
