The Mitylenian Debate holds that democracy is incapable of an empire. The action risks the fears of plots being unknown in daily relations with each other. Democracy feels the same towards allies, and they lack opportunities for reflecting on issues that can result in listening to their appeals or addressing their compassion. When democracy tries to become imperial, they face constant change where they have threatened and the perceptions that ignorance of the fact that bad and rigid laws are ideal for a city compared to good laws with no authority. They have to face the ignorance that unlearned loyalty is more serviceable than quick-witted insubordination. Ordinary people have great tendencies for better managing public issues than their gifted counterparts. Such behaviors are prerequisites for ruining a nation.
The Melian Dialogue
In treating each other, democracies should compromise on their individual rights. This implies that if democracy has to maintain its independence, it must be considered strong and protected from molestation. The subject of security and peace between nations should be fundamental, especially for the weaker democracies. Their relationship should be built on justice that is necessary for honoring the interests of each other. The democracies need to build their relationship as neutral friends rather than enemies.
