Democracy checks the power of corrupt and evil administrators, preventing them from twisting G-d's laws for their own ends. Therefore the Jewish model, which combines both theological principles and democratic processes, seems by far to be the healthiest, since it safeguards against corruption and exploitation. The government is based around the unchanging principles contained within this Constitution which guarantee enduring rights such as the freedom of speech and press. Yet, there are, ideally, expert Judges in the form of the Supreme Court, coupled with elected representatives and legislators of the people, whose task it is to implement the spirit and laws of the American political system within the overall skeletal structure of the Constitution, in accordance with the changing times. To be sure, the question of whether or not religion should play a role in the area of politics of course denies the already central part which religion actually occupies in all Western politics, both theoretically and practically.
Religion is already in fact the very rationale for democracy in the first instance.
Surely it would be better if it were left to the experts. It may even cause them to blunder and make irreversible mistakes. Yet democracy promotes the belief that it is better for people to freely choose the wrong direction themselves, than to have someone else choose it for them. It is a statement of the essential freedom of the individual and the fact that every human being is endowed with certain inalienable rights, the foremost of which is the ability to make of their life what they will. Secondly, democracy is a statement of the equality of all mankind.
