Quote: 3) is the importance of rights greater than democracy? Or is democracy a right? If the latter, how does this work with (2)?
Response: I believe that a system of rights is superior to a system of democracy. The US by the way, was never intended to be a democracy, but a republic - the difference being that in a republic an individual has his rights respected, while in a democracy the will of majority is the law.\nThe "right to vote" or "right to democracy" is perhaps the greatest offender in the drama of conflicting rights such made up rights create, because where the will of the majority is law, no other rights can possibly exist.\n
