Aristocracy, I think, is the more appropriate term. Surely it was not intended to be the way it is now... (?) A question of who's intent now arises as does a question of initial design flaws or post amendment ramifications. What does having a vote mean these days? Constituencies are, for the most part, ignorant of law, process, etc... and rely on representation to do the "right thing". We would like to believe that our votes count but electoral vote is how a race is decided. As far as policy is concerned, the general populace is, for the most part, out of the loop.
