Wrong AGAIN Boots, when the American Founding Fathers Eliminated the Democracy 1781 Articles of Confederation with the Republican 1787 U.S. Constitution, they eliminated the States Governors Ultimate Powers ("States Rights") that were previously given to them as the American Colonies Governors as the Representatives of the British King by making a Centralized Government, the American Founding Fathers then made Democracy Illegal and formed the Republican Form of Government as demanded by the U.S. Constitution's Article 4 Section 4 "a Republican Form of Government" that also Demanded that All States of The Union have "a Republican Form of Government" or not be protected from (British) Invasion or Domestic Violence (like 1786 Shay's Rebellion or the Lynch Mobs of the Extreme Violence of the Democracy Rebellion 1786 to 1787).   They then became the Founding Fathers of The Union of States of the United States of the Republic of America aka U.S. Founding Fathers.
