I don't understand, democracy is a bad thing? I don't get your point. Please explain...
To: Madame de Winter
Democracy is a bad thing, yes. Because a democracy, by it's very nature, quickly turns into Mobocracy. When it's "Majorty Rule" then individual Rights can be stomped by the majority.
In a constitutional republic, however, the theory is that Individual Rights are not at the mercy of the majority.
Make sense?
