How did Reflections on the Revolution in France by Edmund Burke improve democracy?

I think
that one way in which Burke's work helps to improve democracy is to bring out the failings in
the French Revolution.  Burke was convinced that political theory in this case can have real
world applications. After seeing the excessive zeal and lack of institutional control, he is
convinced that in detailing the shortcomings of the French Revolution, he can help his political
structure in England avoid some of the same mistakes.  This invariably helps democracy, as a
political concept, because Burke recognizes that democratic forms of government does not work if
so much emotion is evident in political expression.  Burke's idea of "constancy" in
democratic expressions does bring to light how the democratic form of government only functions
at its best when there is a sense of tranquility and stability in the social order.  It is for
this reason that the French Revolution ended up alarming Burke.  While the Reign of Terror had
not happened at the time of Burke's writing, one has to see its relevance given the death and
carnage that resulted.  The disintegration of a "civil society" is what alarms Burke
the most.  In this, one can see how Burke does believe that democracy is not advanced when all
of society is immersed in chaos.  Given what we see in many parts of the Arab world struggling
to understand the full implications of an Arab Spring move into an "Arab Autumn" of
sorts, I think that this is where Burke's work is valuable to a study of democracy and the
democratic government both at the time and in the modern setting.
