> If someone who is long gone (and no longer has voting rights) imposed limitations on a democratic system then how is it even a democracy? You are always asking for "how" X can still be a democracy, which is a weird question I don't even know how to answer, since I really don't even know what you understand under a democracy. What do you mean how?
