Answer:

A demagogue/irrational thought

Step-by-step explanation:

The Founding Fathers feared that the country would be lead by a demagogue. A demagogue is a political leader who seeks support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument. They feared "tyranny of the minority".
