It might likewise be because of the truth that democracy is a relatively new kind of federal government, and that it is still evolving and being perfected. Ultimately, Mussolini's quote serves as a pointer that democracy is not a best system, which it needs consistent effort and caution to guarantee that it is working appropriately.
