Democracies are made and broken by institutions. When institutions work they act as a check when they don't work they act as an enabler. Take for example the Weimar Republic in Germany in the 1930's. In 1933 Hitler and the Nazis staged an unsuccessful revolt in Munich. If Hitler had been taken out then world war two would not have been as devastating a conflict as it was. That was a case of a democracy failing to act in its own best interest.
