Editing Democratic peace theory (section)

===Coup by provoking a war===
Many democracies become non-democratic by war, as being aggressed or as aggressor (quickly after a coup), sometimes the coup leader worked to provoke that war.

[[Carl Schmitt]] wrote on how to overrule a Constitution: "Sovereign is he who decides on the exception."{{sfn|Schmitt|1985 [1922]|loc=Chapter 1}} Schmitt, again on the need for internal (and foreign) enemies because they are useful to persuade the people not to trust anyone more than the Leader: "As long as the state is a political entity this requirement for internal peace compels it in critical situations to decide also upon the domestic enemy. Every state provides, therefore, some kind of formula for the declaration of an internal enemy." Whatever opposition will be pictured and intended as the actual foreign enemy's puppet.{{sfn|Schmitt|2008 [1927]|p=46}}
