Sure.

Lets use the US as our example...

America is a Republic, right? Well not everyone knows that. Many people, in my experience, believe that the US is a Democracy. Well thats not correct is it.

I believe that people assume, living under a democratic structure, that everything needs to be fair and equal.

If we have 10 citizens each who own a piece of equal sized land but only one of those people have water on their land, under the name of "DEMOCRACY!", the 9 people would out vote the 1 and sieze his property. The idea of an innate fairness and equality is dangerous by it's sheer percieved reality!
