No, did you fail 3rd grade social studies or something?

We do not live in a "Democratic Society", we live in a Constitutional Republic in which the powers of the government are limited and defined by a preexisting moral code.

You seem to have us confused with a direct democracy.

Then again, you have another problem. You are mistaking policy for morality. Morality is always individual, society does not have a moral code, people do and while certain moral tenets can be commonly enough held to appear as if there is a societal morality but that is just the illusion of a lot of people who happen to agree on a few specific things, those individuals moral codes are all unique and individual.
