QP's,
I apologize for my question being wordy and hard to understand. I was not asking for a huge exposition on the history of democracy. I was simply trying to add an intro to the question, "Is terrorism affectively centralizing power in democracies?"
JGC2,
I agree that the people are responsible for defending themselves, but at what cost? A society may be more protected from foreign incursions, but this protection may lead a government to further centralize power away from the people.
Thank y'all for taking time to respond. I appreciate it.
