I do mean the majority voting as to what the govt should enforce actually (though I would imagine the majority would be broken down into smaller bits, as in states, counties, cities.) The govt would enforce the law, but the law would be what the people want. The govt should have no say in what they are enforcing. They do not tell people what to do, they tell people what the people tell them to tell them... if that makes any sense.
