The Founding Fathers of the United States of America did not have very much faith in human nature, humans are inherently evil and will always take and grab power. Also humans are inherently stupid and don't pay any attention into politics, and were very uneducated and not in any position to vote towards the right way to rule a country. Thus the founding fathers put checks and balances on both the government officials, who would grab more power as well as upon citizens who are stupid. they did not want stupid common man running government, they were far too untrusting of human nature. thus they set up things like the electoral college, a group of people who would be educated and research the candidates and then select the correct path or candidate to vote for.

What are some Anti-federalist views on human nature?
Like the Founders in general, Anti-Federalists in America's Founding Period may be said to have held a 'mixed' view of human nature. For instance, an 'anti-Federalist' such as Thomas Jefferson views humanity capable of achieving and maintaining orderly society through the power of natural reason, education, and of course self-disciplined choices worthy of the approval of civilized persons. On the other hand, he also saw human nature as subject to great temptations and frequently mistaken in its reasonings and intentions. Thus, human government at all levels is not rightly governed solely by popular will but rather requires many checks-and-balances, including the firm hand of elite leadership, which itself must be regulated in some way.
