 Why would the Framers of the Constitution approve the following rule at the Constitutional Convention of 1787 if a goal of the Convention was to produce a Constitution for the United States that would reflect a representative democratic republic?  Rule of secrecy: “That nothing spoken in the house be printed, or otherwise published or communicated without leave.”
