"You give up your freedom to do whatever you want to preserve democracy which requires compromise"

Your example is:

We all do it all the time. When we have to get a drivers license, follow building regulation, get a hunting license, stop at stop lights, and obey the law

I think you mean we cede some of our freedom and accept regulation because the benefits outweigh the restriction on freedom.

I agree with that. It just depends on where you draw the line.
