During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: >From bondage to spiritual faith; >From spiritual faith to great courage; >From courage to liberty; >From liberty to abundance; >From abundance to complacency; >From complacency to apathy; >From apathy to dependence; >From dependence back into bondage."
For a democracy to succeed it must continually give the citizen more freedom, the liberties cannot compromise society in a way that demands an authoritarian override. Democracy is the incubator, a system of refinement that allows the metamorphosis of that particular people. Modern democracy is carried by technology, it's life extended, this extension coupled with the possible overview on history should enable both the citizens and government to maintain that cocoon. Government should provide the correct temperature and environment for democracy. The traditional cocoon is the transition to a refined system that is only attainable through the exploitation of technology.
