.."according to merit" could have absolutely opposite definitions in relation with the context...it seems "according to merit" has had a lot of catastrophic "past history" in many dictatures....

So the people would be able to decide by itself, without knowing with precision which are all the economical, diplomatical, ethical, military ....stakes, if it accepts or not a war...but the same people won´t be able to choose by itself its next chief ?...

Does it/he/she exist ?
...I´m surprised by a such proposition from your part,
spyretto,...It presupposes that all the chiefs would be the wiser of the wiser...a true fairy-tail...
