Protests in the 1960s, a mimeograph machine and a long-shot candidate all contributed to Iowa’s unlikely role in the presidential election process.

The only reason Iowa and other small States should be before larger States is so that candidates actually care and go out to smaller populations, if Iowa, NH, SC and NV didn't go first no candidate would go out to their state for their measly 3-5 delegates

Hannibal Ben Barca Except we aren’t a democracy, but a Constitutional Republic, wherein we elect representatives to represent us, however in the American context of republicanism each individual state is a “representative” of the people within its borders. The United **States** of America is one country comprised of 50 semi-sovereign states each with its own unique perspectives, values, economy, and history. The Founding Fathers saw individual US states each individually which it’s own civil governments and electing representatives and electors to represent their own semi-sovereign state within our Union at the federal level. The United States of America was **never** meant to be a democracy.

ᴅᴇᴀʀ ᴍʀ. ɪꜱᴀɪᴀʜ ᴅᴇʀɪɴɢᴇʀ; There are actually a few fundamental differences between the two in the American context historically going all the way back to the federalist papers, in which James Madison specifically lays out the differences between democracy and republic (or at the very least defined them clearly when using those terms in the American context going forward): According to Madison, “The two great points of difference between a democracy and a republic, are: first, the delegation of the government, in the latter, to a small number of citizens elected by the rest; secondly, the greater the number of citizens, and greater sphere of country, over which the latter may be extended.” In short, for Madison, democracy meant direct democracy, and republic meant representative government. Thus, by the end of the 18th century both the idea and the practice of democracy had been profoundly transformed. Political theorists and statesmen now recognized what the Levelers had seen earlier, that the nondemocratic practice of representation could be used to make democracy practicable in the large nation-states of the modern era. Representation, in other words, was the solution to the ancient dilemma between enhancing the ability of political associations to deal with large-scale problems and preserving the opportunity of citizens to participate in government. To some of those steeped in the older tradition, the union of representation and democracy seemed a marvelous and epochal invention. In the early 19th century the French author Destutt de Tracy, the inventor of the term idéologie (“ideology”), insisted that representation had rendered obsolete the doctrines of both Montesquieu and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, both of whom had denied that representative governments could be genuinely democratic (see below Montesquieu and Rousseau). “Representation, or representative government,” he wrote, “may be considered as a new invention, unknown in Montesquieu’s time.…**Representative democracy… (republicanism) is democracy rendered practicable for a long time and over a great extent of territory.” In 1820 the English philosopher James Mill proclaimed** “the system of representation” to be “the grand discovery of modern times” in which “the solution of all the difficulties, both speculative and practical, will perhaps be found.” One generation later Mill’s son, the philosopher John Stuart Mill, concluded in his Considerations on Representative Government (1861) that “the ideal type of a perfect government” would be both democratic and representative. Foreshadowing developments that would take place in the 20th century, the dēmos of Mill’s representative democracy included women.
