In my opinion, the majority of the people of a democracy have more freedom at the beginning than any other point in time. Granted, blacks are freer now than 100 years ago but I am talking about the majority.


As soon as the legislative part of government start imposing laws, it's the beginning of the end. They first start with "common sense" laws but as time passes the laws become more authoritarian in nature. Democracies can turn on a dime. Just look at Germany prior to the nazi's. The people "thought" they were free and then they werent.


Democracies are only as good as the people want them to be. If citizens of a Democracy want to make it prosper, they have to watch it closely and make sure it doesn't turn on them.
