Well the hope was that by at least having a representative government, the people elect officials to represent them to make the larger decisions and if big big disagreement occurs when election season rolls around, we get them out of office or if they do something unlawful get them impeached. Now sure attempts to do both occured and some had the ability or took advantage of those abilities and intercepted opportunity but as a whole for the most(excluding the past 8 years) part it's been in tact.
