While being somewhat aristocratic to varying degrees themselves, our founders recognized the need for all of society to be participants. The electoral college is a shield against elitism

George Washington’s rules of etiguette is an interesting read. One of his rules that I found to be particularly striking was about greeting all men as equals. He made a point of standing to greet every man, even subordinates.

If you’re interested in that sort of thing, I found this site to be a valuable source of original documents from 500 BC to the mid 1800s. Many of the links are missing but further searching can find most of them. Among my favorites was testimoney given to Parliment by Ben Franklin reguarding the direction relations between the colonies and Great Britain were heading.

Thanks decimon. :’)
