Your whole statement hinges on an untruth - that democracy is a value - a state of being.
It is not.
It is a form of government in which all citizens vote on all issues. Stop. Period. End of definition.
Bullshit.
Definition, especially arbitrarily ones, do not motivate anyone. values do.
The definition of democracy is not worth the paper it is written on for any practical purpose if The value of democracy is not attractive. A state without any deep habit of cultural unity will not last if it does not provide an attractive value.
United States lasted because it provided sufficiently convincing promise of satisfying the demands of the democratic value.
