In a composition fallacy, it is claimed that what is true of the parts
is also true for the whole. In a division fallacy, it is claimed that
what is true of the whole is also true of all the parts.
Examples:
"People are alive, and people are made up of atoms, so atoms must be
alive." (division)
"Atoms are not alive, and people are made up of atoms, so people must
not be alive." (composition)

Therefore they can be "popular" enough to get elected but be "popular"
to a different degree when ruling.
The Five Ws, also known as the Five Ws (and one H), is a concept in
journalism, research, and in police investigations that most people
consider to be fundamental. It is a formula for getting the "full"
story on something. The maxim of the Five Ws (and one H) is that in
order for a report to be considered complete it must answer a checklist
of six questions, each of which comprises an interrogative word:* ?* ?*
?* ?* ?* ?

Because they are lawyers, which makes them criminals.
When the Anti-Federalists lost to the Federalists, the die was cast.
No matter what transpired, America was destined to become a fascist
dictatorship. The reason is so simple: Federalism creates a strong
central authoritarian govt where all the criminals can congregate to
impose their tyranny on the states.
The Federalists were the special interests of the day and so it was
only natural they would cobble together a system that protected their
interests, namely the framework for a fascist dictatorship.
Anti-Federalists, on the other hand, were individualists - farmers
mostly - and they wanted no part of any leviatian in Washington.
No more did his new seat get warm in his new position as America's
first president than Geo. Washington sent federal troops to bully
whisky makers in Pennsylvania.
Next time we form a new nation we are going to have to let the People
write the Constitution, and they better put a Tyrannicicde Clause in
it this time around or else history will just repeat itself.
"He who kills a tyrant (i.e. an usurper) to free his country is
praised and rewarded. A tyrant by usurpation has illegitimately seized
power and, therefore, is a criminal. When there are no other means
available of ridding the community of the tyrant, the community may
kill him. The legitimate authority may condemn him to death using the
normal course of law. However, if the normal course of law is not
available (due to the actions of the tyrant), then the legitimate
authority can proceed informally to condemn the tyrant and even grant
individuals a mandate to execute the tyrant. A private citizen who
takes the life of a tyrant acts with public authority in the same way
that a soldier does in war."
--Thomas Aquinas
-----
"A ruler who violates natural law is illegitimate. He has no right to
be obeyed, his commands are mere force and coercion. Rulers who act
lawlessly, whose laws are unlawful, are mere criminals, and should be
dealt with in accordance with natural law, as applied in a state of
nature, in other words they and their servants should be killed as the
opportunity presents, like the dangerous animals that they are, the
common enemies of all mankind."
--John Locke

I sympathize and half-agree. It is, generally, easier to be democratic
the more local the government. But as I look back over American
history I see the large centralized power also taking on state level
fascists. I think the states themselves are too large and we would
have had many little hitlers instead of one tending towards fascist.
On the other hand, there might have been a few real democracies.
But would there still be slavery in, say, Georgia, if we had not had a
federal gov?
