To guarantee a future for democracy in America, the founding generation wanted to nurture democracy with a republican spirit—egalitarian and dedicated to public welfare. They wanted to enable democracy by encouraging a broad distribution of resources; controlling those under arms; and unification across the diversity of the young immigrant nation. Their primary tools were new systems of education, commerce, finance, law, land, and settlement.

Keywords:   commerce, democracy in America, distribution of resources, diversity, education, egalitarian, land, republican, unification
