Voting is an improvement over autocracy - it distributes more power. Voting presents the image of equality: one person, one vote.

Wherever they went, civilizations died.
One of the best records we have is an Egyptian prince, ruling a colony, writing to Egypt: "We can't fight them. Send help or this is the last letter I'll be able to send."
