In this video, we define the term in its classical sense and explain why Madison, Hamilton, and Washington believed republics were especially vulnerable to leaders who weaponize majority passion. We walk through how that fear shaped separation of powers, federalism, indirect elections, and impeachment—and why the Constitution assumes ongoing civic vigilance from citizens themselves. Understanding demagoguery is about understanding how self-government can erode from within. #history #civics #constitution #FoundingFathers #democracy #FederalistPapers #politicaltheory
