Asian Americans in the U.S. Historical and Political Process

Throughout the history of the United States, the struggle for democracy has always been a huge problem for America. Even from the beginning, the framers were forced to find a balance between creating a republican government based on popular consent and a government that does not sway easily by public opinion and popular democracy (Greenberg, 36). However, through the use of federalism, limited government, separation of powers, checks and balances, and limitations on majority rules, the framers were able to place obstacles in the path of a majoritarian democracy (Greenberg, 37). Given all the framers' efforts, many Americans still question how democratic the American political process really and what democracy really means to them.
