The alternative vision that some Patriots held was to have a republic ruled by a "natural aristocracy" based on talent rather than birth. They believed that this ruling class would be best equipped to govern, rather than representing all levels of society. This approach was seen as a more moderate and conservative perspective compared to Thomas Paine's radical calls for universal suffrage and more direct democracy.
