  2. ​ @bc9554  Yes, a pure democracy where it's basically tyranny of the majority is bad. A constitutional democracy is good though everybody is protected by certain rights no matter if they're in the minority or the majority. Things like the right to life, labour, and liberty. Something conscription violates!

  3.  @bc9554  Yes, a constitution's core purpose is to protect people's rights. Democracy's purpose is more about how best to govern ourselves. No, that would not mean a constitutional dictatorship is acceptable. Having a constitution is necessary but not sufficient. We still need a good governing system. Democracy is better than dictatorship. And yes, the majority can vote to overwrite the constitution (which is what amendments are in the US for instance). And this can lead to tyranny, that is also true. All systems have flaws. Democracy just has the least, that's why we go with it

  7. ​ @Carla-h1o  It is absolutely a violation of human rights. Namely, the right to life, choice of labour, and liberty. It's a barbaric institution that we somehow haven't left behind in the dark ages
