Any form of government can be changed or modified except the democratic form. A government that is established or determined by the Top i.e. from the place that houses power, is instantiated at the Top, defined by the Top and governed by the Top. Hence the source of power determines the forms power will take and the means by which it will enforce its laws or policies. Not so with a democratic form. A democratic form originates at the Bottom where the people reside. It is a government "of People" ( of course, other forms are also governments of People, but in those cases some group or individual acquires power, whether through conquest, fear, or violence, except, maybe, the so-called Divine Right of Kings.) A democracy is also a government "by the People" i.e. by the same People who are going to be governed. All elements in a democracy are important, but the most important is the third element: a government "for the People". Hence, a democracy is a government "of People", "by People" and "for the People". If a government " of People" and "by People" is formed but, if it is not "for the People", it is not a democracy. Even a government that purports to be a democracy; i.e. a government "for the People", but, in fact, is not, that government is a purported democracy, but not a real democracy. A real democracy also has political power at the Top, but its a granted power; a power granted by the electoral process exercised by the People at the Bottom of Triadic government. The Constitution describes a Three Branch form of government. That's a triadic form of government. The essence of any triad is the bottom of the triad because the Bottom supports the Top. Without a bottom there is no need for a Top. Furthermore, the Top does not create its own self and it sure can't create the Bottom. No government ever created you or I.( that's another subject matter) A democratic Government is created by the People and the bottom line is it is created "for the People". A real democracy "of the People" can never be changed. A non-democratic government that does not 'help' its People should be dismantled.
