Answers
Complete democracy may be a mob rule and mayn't work, but enough democracy so that the views of society are mirrored by those that serve them is ideal. Democracy can easily amount to mob rule, which is why a republic is thought to be superior. A republic that combines representative government with a constitution can help prevent the mob from trampling on others' inalienable rights. An effective functioning of a democracy can be imagined only when, the electorate that are highly educated, having moderate beliefs, and will to seek consensus-based solutions with each other, and be individualistic. An uneducated population can be easily fooled and manipulated by the political classes, As an electorate with high radical beliefs won't try to work the things out through democratic procedure and will be more likely to not compromise with people having different beliefs, thereby leading to political deadlock. An electorate who is not individualistic will vote more along community/tribal lines than on strictly rational self-interest. In these situations, democracy can, and will, lead to mob rule.
