1min summary

Madison studied failed democracies of the past to create a more resilient model of US democracy. Today, USA is ultra polarized and social media feeds us information that we already agree with. Madison worked on amending cooling and anti-mob mechanisms into the constitution. However they were dismantled over time enabling current state of democracy.
