What Are the Duties of a Government in a Democracy?

[Just Me]

I thought that Government was loyal to serving the interests of the whole- (rather than the 5% of our wealthiest elite population).

I thought that Government was obliged to protect the health and safety of ALL THE PEOPLE (rather than the interests of multi-national corporations and another nation).

I thought that Government was committed to the "rule of law" (rather than intentionally creating ridiculous rationale for betraying even funadamental civil and human rights laws).

I thought that Government was dedicated to advancing the ideal of democracy (rather than suppressing it).

I thought that Government was supposed to advance human progression rather than exploit and profit off human oppression and weakness.

1. Whatever The Electorate Says It Is

Its not fixed, it can be anything or nothing, whatever the electorate decides.

3. What kind of "electorate": ignorant, manipulated, informed, "other".

:shrug:

I ask of you to define what "governance" in a democracy is supposed to be (aside from assumptions associated with the "electorate").
