A ruler should be accountable to whatever he's contracted

Sorry.  We disagree.  A ruler should be accountable to the people of
the nation.  That's what I call democratic government and a free
people.


But that standard doesn't mean anything without more
detail. Democracy is no guarantee of the absence of
tyranny, it's just a process.


Why don't you name a democratic tyranny for us? 

Sure. The Weimar Republic voted in Adolph Hitler
as Chancellor. That's only the most recent and egregious.



So, you call Hitler's Germany a Democracy.


It *was* a democracy, at the outset - it changed
rather rapidly.

We must differ.
