Which one of these 15 Founding Fathers was fearful of the "mob"?

Question

The options are Ben Franklin, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Alexander Hamilton, Gouverneur Morris, James Madison, Abigail Adams, John Dickinson, Samuel Adams, James Otis, John Paul Jones, Richard Henry Lee, and Ethan Allen.

Answer 1

Of that group, Alexander Hamilton would classify as the biggest elitist, by far. Hamilton was extremely suspicious of democracy, feeling it could get unruly.

Most of the rest knew democracy was messy, but enjoyed that fact. Franklin, Jefferson and Sam Adams especially.
