By democracy I mean the system in place in the US or Western Europe and a number of other countries. In other words, a system with checks and balances. A system with tools in place to avoid injust outcomes due to the tyrany of the majority (or a minority). For example, if a majority of a country wants segregated schools, that does not make it right. A true democracy is not one where people just shrug and say “well, if this is the will of the people, that settles it”. A true democracy is one where “Brown vs Board of Education” can happen.
