that is definitely not how it works in all systems
a future government should be able to roll back legislation as easily as the past government implemented it, otherwise the process fundamentally undemocratic
this is true for the UK
constitutions that require super-majorities to change are fundamentally undemocratic
the US founding fathers considered this to be a feature to prevent mob rule... they were probably right here
but it's really quite hard to argue that elevating the principles of dead slave owners 200 years ago (extreme example) over those of voters alive today is democratic
