Inequality can be seen genetically between differing people in many ways, including intelligence. The question that has risen, and defines much of the division between liberal and conservative, republican and democrat are whether the masses will do what is right, or whether elitist groups should be left with all of the power. Sadly, the masses can and do make poor decisions (about things like economic controls). Because of this, we must place our faith in a representative body, but only so long as this body serves everyone.
