The history of democracy is primarily associated with ancient Greece and the Roman Republic. To this day, it is believed that democracy is the rule of the people. Since antiquity, new legal or institutional solutions have been introduced to ensure a certain status quo in the prevailing balance of political forces, guaranteeing the stability of the state and society. It is not uncommon for demands to save democracy to have been and still be made. An example of this was the recent elections in Poland, when the then-opposition went to the polls under the slogan of saving democracy. Few of the voters, or even the politicians who proclaimed these slogans, thought about what kind of democracy they were fighting for. Was democracy really threatened? And what is democracy? In this paper, a legal-historical analysis allows us to conclude that, due to social, political, and technological changes, the most optimal democracy today is constitutional liberalism, i.e., a form of government rather than a stability of procedures or institutions.
