Secondly, democracy includes constitutional government, and the basic rules of constitutional government—the Constitution, the general constitution that stipulates the rights and obligations of citizens and the state, are themselves drawn up by all citizens through certain procedures.

It is assumed that the people and citizens choose an all-powerful and comprehensive The political right to control every aspect of one’s life is unbelievable, self-contradictory, and against human reason; true constitutionalism is democratic in nature, that is, the people and citizens themselves make restrictions on the political rights elected by themselves The people and citizens should restrain themselves, and don’t ask the country and the government to meet all their needs and wishes, and don’t grant the country and the government the right to solve all social problems.
