Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

“Government that begin by burning books end by burning people" is quote that is made popular by Heinrich Heine, a German of Jewish origin, who wrote in one of his book that "Where they burn books, they will, in the end, burn human beings too". This implies that, the purpose of burning books is to delete permanently the knowledge and history in the book. However, book is just a medium, and people can still pass the knowledge and history through other means, then, those burning the books, will eventually burn people to eradicate the knowledge and history inside the book completely.

Hence, it relates to democracy, because democracy is a form of government that prohibits oppression and encourage expression of the citizens regardless of class, hence, should any democratic government intends to silence people's opinions and voices, by burning their books or written thoughts on subject matter affecting the country, will eventually burn the people giving out those thoughts, that is by silencing them, jailing them or killing them completely, to eliminate and remove their knowledge from the public.
