        You are confusing something with another political system.

        Since ancient Greek times, where democracy was invented, severely unlawful behaviour was always being punished by also revoking political rights: offenders would loose both the right to vote and the right to represent others or hold any kind of public office.

        And all of this exactly so as to protect the democracy itself.
