the bullet makes democracy possible
a single, relative small pellet of lead from a machtlock musket could penetrate the finest armor and kill the stronger man inside it. The bullet tended towards an equality of men in combat long before it was achieved politically. A democratic goverment was probably impossible when wealth men could buy armor for themselves and their retainers that made them almost impervious to the weapons of de poor.
So long as offensive depend upon physical strength and skill adquired by long training, the common man was at a disadvantage. However, in a few hours the average man could learn to load, aim, and fire a musket. Bullets, not laws, made men substantially equal.
