Your history knowledge is better then mine here, but, in each of your cases you assume the people get the laws they are given by the government and name some historical examples. What you see there is the evolution of democracy. In 1960th people of color had been granted access to universities. It was found anti constructional and the government was forced to change the law. So it's not the way you say, but likely, the people have basic rights and choose the government in elections. government, in turn, makes the laws (legislative), the high judges can judge these laws (Judiciary). And the police have to execute the laws (executive). They all control each other. If the majority chooses another party, so the laws can be changed again - if there's a majority for it in the readings. So.. I think all of your examples do not take into account, that all if the historical events you named are Preceded by the change of the "not so democratic" or regimes to peoples freshly elected ones. And that had been preceded by a strong voice of people raised. It's a important point. That's evolution of democracy.
