"The capacity of people for good makes democracy desirable; their capacity for evil makes democracy necessary." So it means, in a sense, that the potential level of good that people can be makes democracy desirable. It makes sense, the good we may see in other people and in ourselves is very appealing to sway towards a democracy, a order of power to the people. And the evil we see in others is also a strive to have a democracy, so the power is not corrupted or abused by individuals. This statement is basically saying because of the potential good and evil in a person, the power must be distributed to all. So yes I do agree with this statement, its simply logical. It is not that easy, but using this as a goal or type of "mission statement" can't hurt.
