Democracy is the belief that a majority vote transforms immoral acts into moral mandates.

In short, despite all of the complex rituals and convoluted rationalizations, all modern belief in "government" rests on the notion that mere mortals can, through certain political procedures, bestow upon some people various rights which none of the people possessed to begin with.

Like jury duty?

That's where the rules of how powerful and how detailed those votes are allowed to get. What are the limits of state and citizen power. You know, like a constitution.
