ِDemocracy is based upon unwritten laws

What Trump’s rule teaches me is that democracy is mostly based upon unwritten laws that everybody respects them and acts based upon them. There are not many written regulations and laws that would really stop and hinder dictatorial manners. If somebody like Trump or Rob Ford are elected by less informed voters, they can really wreak havoc with democracy and its institutions. For example, there is no law on the books that can stop Trump saying the free media are the enemy of the people, or stop Rob Ford from banning Toronto Star from his media events.
