It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising their sovereignty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People have become disillusioned with Parliament, and that threatens democracy.
Nations sometimes flourish by denying the crimes that brought them into being. Only when the original invasion, occupation, extermination or usurpation has been safely thrust into the political unconscious can sovereignty feel secure.
Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
Ignorance is an evil weed, which dictators may cultivate among their dupes, but which no democracy can afford among its citizens.
Without an educated populace, democracy cannot sustain itself.
Tyranny naturally arises out of democracy.
Under a dictatorship, a nation ceases to exist. All that remains is a fiefdom, a planet of slaves regimented by aliens from outer space.
It is from weakness that people reach for dictators and concentrated government power. Only the strong can be free. And only the productive can be strong.
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.
