About This Quote

The only way to ensure democracy functions correctly is to question its governance constantly. Fail to do so and you may awake to find yourself living in a police state. The quote is referring to the fact that in order for a democracy to remain true to its ideals, it must be continuously challenged by the people. As long as the people are kept in check, then the government will be held accountable for their actions. If the people are not allowed to question their government, then they are allowing the government to rule with an iron fist without any opposition.
