The hated it LOL ... 

They did not even intend for senators to be elected by the residences of the states themselves either like we have now! (it used to be state legislatures who would appoint our senators and the transition to universal suffrage hardly began until after the civil war) 

The hated it for a reason. Because democracy always end up being little more then mob rule.

Yes, so that's why they originally only allowed white, property-owning men to vote. Because those blacks, women and landless people aren't fit to decide what is for the good of everyone and what isn't.
