Because they were the only people who had any say in the rules that governed peoples lives. Even from day one, the Constitution of the United States of America contradicts the way that things were and the way they would continue for some time. The first amendment grants freedom of religion, speech, and assembly. It states

... to lose not only territory and money, but German pride as well. Weimar government members had to bear the disgrace of signing the treaty. This, in Hitler's view, was humiliating Germany. Moreover, he and the German army denied being defeated in the war and blamed the loss on cowardly politicians. The treaty restricted the size of the German army and forbid Germany to join together with Austria. Adding to Germany's already vast economic problems, the country had to pay financial reparations for the war. Hence, the Treaty of Versailles fueled nationalist propaganda and played a major role in collapsing the Weimar Republic in the early 1930s.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
... no one can change that. He describes this belief in the quote "Nothing is at last sacred, but the integrity of your own mind." People can mess with every other part of you, but your mind they can't reach.
Emerson is quoted as saying "My life is for itself and not for a spectacle."
