    Prior to the creation of the US Constitution, the general view of representative government is that it only worked in very small-scale environments - essentially a city-state or smaller. Otherwise, the actual reflection of popular will declined in the representatives (ie, the difference between 1 representative per 100 citizens and 1 representative per 10,000 citizens), and generally the whole process became inefficient and self-destructive.

    James Madison, however, was like 'no beezy'. He remarked that small republics were prone to faction and thus collapsed quickly. A large republic, he said, had so many interests and factions that none could rule, and thus they had to moderate and compromise.
