We have our Constitution and we choose democracy as our way of life. Democracy essentially enables the people to participate in choosing state executive leadership and legislative members that represent the aspirations of voters. Politicians never elect themselves to public office. Once elected, regardless of their political affiliations, they answer to those who vote for them.

This is the essence of a representative democracy. The Constitution guarantees the right of all people to be engaged in democratic practices to prevent democracy from harming anyone.
