How can a democratic Country be changed? The truth is that it can't. A democratic Country cannot change itself from the Top of government, nor by means of the 'interpretive practices' implemented by the Judicial branch. Neither the Top, nor the Sides of Triadic government can change the nature of democratic government. Why? Its obvious that a government "of People", " by People", and "for People", can only be changed by the People at the Bottom. Hence, any real change in government must originate at the Bottom where the voters are. Of course, the Bottom is constituted by voters who are Constitutionally considered Free and Equal and hence are not about to impose limitations on their Freedom and Equality. Democracy is about the sanctity of the individual and hence voters will not limit access to the polls. Any statement about changes at the Bottom that are made by the Top or the sides of triadic government are at best vacuous. A democracy does not change except by force or political chicanery. Any attempt to change a law with respect to voting rights is an example of political chicanery and only the Top, and/or, the Sides can seek to implement that. The Bottom will never limit its own Right to the polls. Its impossible. To attack a law because 'the Country has changed' is to misunderstand the very basis of democracy. An Autocracy, a Dictatorship, or a Kingship, can make such a statement because in those forms of government, the Top defines the nature of the Country. Not so in a democracy. The Bottom defines the nature of the Country. The laws with respect to voting rights are good descriptions of the history of a Country's past practices. Those practices may be cultural aspects of a Country, but they are not legal aspects. The legal aspects are simply a Country "of People", "by People" and "for People". Hence, a law that reflects a cultural aspect must be kept intact, because it reflects historical practices and sets the foundation of present practices. To remove those laws is to remove the very foundations of the particular law and to open the door to future undemocratic practices. It's a move backwards instead of forward.
