>>To simplify.
Democracy is a great tool for people to decide on issues that have nothing to do with freedom and liberty.
When people start voting on issues of freedom and liberty, then democracy is a tool for tyranny.<<
No argument here. That is why there is Constitution. Democracy requires mature minded responsible population to function.
Ignoring that fact was the major reason of neo-con nation-building blunder.
A Constitution that recognizes natural rights is a fundamental requirement.
However, I’ve come to realize that at the end of the day, the Constitution is completely voluntary for the majority in a democracy.
The majority must have good reason to believe that the consequences of not following the Constitution are so horrific that whatever they can vote themselves isn’t worth the backlash.
