So what “power” of the mob-citizens is there to be concerned with or skeptical of?
In theory a mob could restrict the freedoms of others.
Not everyone wants all the freedoms that you may enjoy.

Well, if and when “the mob” inappropriately restricts the freedom of others, that’s what societal rules and regulations and laws are for, to address any such issues. Of course we expect those rules and regulations and laws to be applied legally, constitutionally and equally - but that’s another discussion altogether.
Basically what I was referring to in my post was representation of the “little man” in the highest levels of government, voting and elections and such. That’s the “mob rule” I’m referring to.
