That was the argument the Founding Fathers used for creating a republic.  Imagine how horrified they'd be if they came back to see blacks and even <gasp> women voting?

Some wouldn't be horrified at all. Benjamin Franklin in the latter part of his life believes Blacks to be the intellectual equals of whites And supported abolition. And considering that women in New Jersey were allowed to vote from 1776 to 1800 I doubt they'd be totally surprised by either.
