Answer: The correct answer is : Because the direct government of citizens was not practical and they thought it was less likely to produce a good public policy.

Explanation: James Madison is considered the father of the constitution of the United States, he was the delegate best prepared for the convention in 1787. He said that the great danger to the popular government is the faction. The faction is a number of citizens united by a passion or common interest contrary to the rights of other citizens or the interests of the community.
