In at least two significant ways, Imperialism as a central economic and political impetus could threaten the American democratic system in an essential way. First, it could weaken the commitment of ordinary citizens to democratic processes and values. Second, and more drastically, it could cause sudden changes to governmental policies and powers through the action of elected and appointed officials -- which would weaken, eliminate, or otherwise transform constitutional checks and balances and other democratic 'basics' in the American system.
