The Bottom must express itself.

In a democracy, the people must express themselves. Since the essence of democracy is the Bottom of triadic government, the Many at the Bottom must vote. That's all voting is; an expression by the People. This activity must not be stifled in any manner. If it is curtailed, stopped, compromised, or confined in any manner, its not democracy. In the ancient dichotomy of the One and the Many, the Third Branch was missing, hence government of the Many by the One could never be resolved. It was a Third Branch that helped resolve the problematic. The essence of democracy is the Bottom, but the Bottom must be free to express itself. After all, governing is about People who are governed and the Bottom of democracy is the essence of democracy, hence the essence of governing. The People can only be governed by themselves. No other point or place within the triad has the potential to govern. The Top cannot govern because it must govern the Bottom and it can no longer justify that right by claiming some Divine guidance or just some 'force'. The Judicial branch just defines the parameters of democracy as set out in the Constitution. It is left to the People who are governed to choose who will govern them. To accomplish that, the People must exercise their right to vote. Of course, the individual placed in a political position of power must carry out his/her duties in accordance with the Constitution. Hence, the Top governs according to the Constitution; the judicial interprets the parameters of democracy; the Legislative legislates laws and control over the entire structure. The 'watchdogs' are the people, not the Military or some other strong part of the social, or even the 1% and it's never 'just a replacement' of a previous government. The people must 'speak' and the 'temporary government' must listen. No other form will have a strong foundation.
