Elective representative democracy is only one kind of democracy though. In Athenian #democracy #sortition was used to randomly select officials from the populace at large, in the same way that jurors are chosen for trials nowadays, and there are other possible solutions as well - e.g. direct democracy, although this has many documented problems related to how the populace get their information.
Does the Democratic process make it ok to threaten people, to initiate force against peaceful people?

Democracy is just a form of government. The ethics and morality of initiating force against innocents are regulated by international agreements, not governments.
