> The problem is that people keep voting for politicians who abuse that power and use it in ways that it was never meant for. In a democracy, determining what a certain law was "intended for" by all of the various parties who supported its passage is a bit of a false question. When bills are complicated, it's because they serve many masters. So who's intention is the actual intention behind the bill? I think of laws like software for running people. And users always end up using your software on ways you don't expect. Also, if the governing people/party is really intent on abusing power, voting is probably not going to stop it.
