Framers like Benjamin Franklin, James Madison etc were prominent figures in their states and most of the delegates were lawyers. These framers or founders framed the Constitution.
The framers were concerned about establishing democracy because, they thought that either it will be too weak to prevent one group from abusing another, or it will be too strong in majority who will violate the rights of the minorities. According to the framers, the power cannot be given to the masses or majority, hence they feared democracy.
