You didn't name one. Name one where Habeas corpus and the freedom of the individual was quaranteed.

And the freedom to manifest one's destiny was the spirit and law of the government, like it is in Democracies.

That is the point of democracy.

Name one!

Show me one country where that has ever been true.

<<The majority of non-democratic societies throughout history. Its not like society collapses and disintegrates the moment it has a non-democratic government. A democratic government is better, it allows for political change without violence, its more likely to support freedom etc., but societies existed long before democracy became common (or existed at all on a large scale), and many of those societies held together pretty well for a time.

And remember the initial point isn't even that society holds together without democracy (although clearly it can, and has time and time again), but that government isn't the same thing as society.
