Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The House of Representatives was viewed as the most democratic branch of the government by the Founding Fathers because its members were directly elected by the people every two years. The Senate, on the other hand, was originally selected by state legislatures and the Supreme Court and the presidency were appointed positions. The cabinet is an advisory body to the president and has no direct democratic representation.
