    The issue with democratic systems versus a republic or a constitutional monarchy, whereas there is a Magna Carta, or otherwise any guaranteed protection of the people's rights is that it can be voted away to a majority.

    An unelected king that has total control over his subjects with no restraint of power or protection for the people will make none the difference but that in a democracy that person was elected to have total control over his subjects.

    The disadvantage, or advantage, of a democracy, is that the majority will always rule over the minority. Regardless of there protected rights.
