    In a democracy, rule of law is supposed to replace “fighting a war in a battlefield” with “elections”, rule of law upholds stability.

    In an authoritarian country, its to protect the the dictator/dictators.

    I live in the US, and unfortunately, the “democracy” is heavily manipulated by powerful oligarchs, so I think it only ever did like 50% what it was supposed to do at its peak (Civil Rights movement was an example, it was only half peaceful, at least the other half of it was violent police brutality and mob lynchings), it already failed once in 1860, and now, ever since January 20 of this year, its had been on a rapid decline, again.
