According to political philosophers the only and ultimate theoretical principle of democracy is nothing but the "belief in" and "practical commitment to" the Human Reason and Reason-based Dialog as the most human and reasonable and peaceful way to settle our inevitable social problems and conflicts. What would leave the death of words from the glory and proud of Democracy? According to philosophers the "practical commitment" portion is a logical and epistemological consequence of the first portion and a sine qua non for the job of Democracy; and not a complementary and additional tag!
Then a little deeper and further analysis of the first principle guides us to the second and pragmatic principle that "when supporting the advancement of democracy costs us nothing, we are obliged and have moral duty to do it". This principle finds its most shinning expression in Abraham Lincoln words that
"Those who deny freedom to others [by their words silence, deeds or inactions] deserve it not for themselves"
(April 6, 1859 - Letter to Henry Pierce).
