If you don't believe as a general proposition that more laws restrict freedom, there isn't any purpose in continuing this discussion.

That isn't what you said. You asked "please show me an example in the history of democracy where more people hasn't led to more laws and less freedom." I showed you 3 examples where more population equaled more freedom. If you can't recall your own words, there isn't any purpose in continuing this discussion.

Congratulations, you've found the great exceptions to the historical trend of more people generating more law and less freedom. There's a saying in medicine, "when you hear the sound of hoofbeats, don't think zebras". You've found the historical zebras.
