In 1799, Napoleon joined a plot to overthrow the Directors and to set up a new and stronger government. Napoleon took control of the government in a coup d'etat or military takeover. He now had the power to make laws, appoint government ministers and declare war.
The term "four portals" (yottsu no kuchi) is now virtually standard terminology in Japanese history textbooks, but it was a foreign concept when I introduced it some 30 years ago in an effort to overturn the prevailing image of early modern Japan as a country shut off from the rest of the world. Such a basic change in premise necessitated a complete reexamination of foreign relations in early modern Japan, including the role played by Nagasaki. In 1983, I proposed that the concept of sakoku be replaced with the concepts of kaikin (maritime restrictions) and a Japanese version of ka-i chitsujo (Sinocentric world order). More recently I have analyzed how the notion of closed and open countries took hold and helped shape the identity of the Japanese in the modern era.

Answer:
For a democracy to be successful, and this is why many fledgling democracies fail, it has to have professional civil service, a strong and well-defined, well-developed constitution, and the trust that their elections are fair and free. These governments also have to prove to their people that the government can work, and is efficient at doing their job and providing for and protecting their people. The press needs to be free, so that the government can be accountable for its actions. The people need to be able to criticize the government, that is speech is relatively free, without fear of restriction or punishment.
