It's not clear what kind of distinction you're trying to draw or why it would be relevant. Some kind of representative democracy where policy is chosen by something more involved than a majority popular vote would still have to be just as forbidden from engaging in tyrannical activities that influence the public discourse or the mechanisms the populace uses to express their preferences.
Sure it is, no one is arguing against that. The process includes a constant check against the Constitution and its core values and whenever a conflict is found the law or act is just nullified.
See the Italian constitutional court as an example
