Is democracy still viable in the United States? How about Texas?

Recently we have witnessed the subtle growth of a movement questioning the viability of democracy as a form of government. This had led to some speculating whether it is still possible for the nation to govern under its three basic requirements

1 - universal adult suffrage
2 - majority rule
3 - minority rights

I want you to investigate this question and report back to me in an essay that meets these requirements:

- 1000 word minimum - you can write as much as you wish
- At least three sources
- Use an acceptable format.
- Make it pleasant to read.

You can take this in any direction you like. For example, you may wish to question the premise of the question: Perhaps democracy is not under threat. Whatever approach you choose to take, please defend it.
