    • 1986, Arthur Nzeribe, Nigeria: The Turning Point, Fourth Dimension, →ISBN, page 12:
      This is crucial if we recognise that the crux of the democratic stateform is the constitutional right of the people to influence and determine how they are governed; how their representatives are chosen, and how that process can be conducted at intervals without fraudulent interference with the right of the people, without turning democracy into democrazy; into a chaotic and unruly form of government.
