To highlight the offensiveness to liberty that democracy and majority rule are, just ask yourself how many decisions in your life would you like to be made democratically. How about what car you drive, where you live, whom you marry, and whether you have turkey or ham for Thanksgiving dinner? If those decisions were made through a democratic process, the average person would see it as tyranny and not personal liberty. Isn’t it no less tyranny for the democratic process to determine [what is lawful and what is not lawful] whether you purchase health insurance or set aside money for retirement? Both for ourselves and our fellow man around the globe, we should be advocating liberty, not the democracy that we’ve become where an unscrupulous Congress does anything upon which they can muster a majority vote.....while NOT paying any attention to the boundaries of the Constitution that was written to bind THEM down.

In a Republic, a Constitution or Charter of Rights protects certain unalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government, even if it has been elected by a majority of voters. In a democracy, the majority is not restrained in this way and can impose its will on the minority. Although we choose most of our representatives and local heads of state and judges democratically they are all governed by the Law of the Land which restricts their powers and jurisdiction in order to conform to the will of the People through the Constitution by the authority vested in the People via Natural Law (God).
