A democratic government collects various opinions and lays down judgement, just like any dictatorship. Elections in a free society.
Democracy needs positive limits.
That's why it was linked with freedom in the Charter. The democracy of the marketplace, as viewed from an American perspective. A democracy is no less socially evel than a totalitarian regime if it is incapable of protecting the individual rights of its citizens. Individual rights must not be subordinated to the will of the majority. People must reject democracy as a means to achieve their own personal ends.
