Democracy is expressed in the Declaration of Independence...
because America has erred from its Wisdom, it does not make it any less important , nor superficial in aspiration

Democracy is an Ideal yet to be achieved....It is a Hope. It requires Beauty of Character and Intelligence. Freedom, Trust, and Sincerity.
High Standards of Ethics, Virtuous Leadership, Beneficent Action.

A society of organized slaves can not call themselves a Democracy.

No it is not Democracy that has failed, but man who has failed to understand the requirements of Democracy, and to institute them
by Law for the Good of All.
