Original Note:
In a democracy under rule of law, the elected government cannot decide without constraints. This is called "checks and balances" and prevents that the government becomes an autocracy. "courts are a second key institution... uphold the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty" https://www.ucl.ac.uk/constitution-unit/explainers/what-are-checks-and-balances
