DEMOCRATIC institutions ensure that a State renews its legitimacy within civil society. When those who take control of the State subvert and delegitimize the institutions of democracy, this renewal ceases to happen. Regular and transparent elections to the legislature, that represents civil society, enable the State to renew legitimacy through popular mandate. When this fails, ceases or is subverted, then a revolution is the only means by which civil society regains control of the State.
