I agree with my colleague about the importance of specifying what a democracy is. However, I will make a bit of a zany comparison.
At this time of year, we have to file our tax returns, and I encourage everyone to do so. We don't say that tax returns are taxes because it is obvious that it is. The same is true when we talk about democracy. Judicial proceedings and the electoral process are democratic processes. So it isn't necessary to repeat in detail what the general term already includes. At this point, it doesn't seem necessary to repeat it in an amendment.
